The storage capacity of the battery is relatively low, as it is not intended to meet energy needs, but mainly to be switched on to provide situational power support for the fuel cell, for example during peak loads while accelerating or while driving uphill fully loaded. The styling of the Fuel Cell truck is modern, but in the base it is the Actros cab with an streamlined nose cone glued on.///daimler
