Advanced Manufacturing Queensland and Hyundai Motor Company Australia Partner to Re-Engineer Hydrogen Trucks for Australian Roads

 

Advanced Manufacturing Queensland (AMQ), a proudly 100% Australian Owned company, has today announced a ground breaking partnership with Hyundai Motor Company Australia to remanufacture the XCIENT Fuel Cell hydrogen truck on Australian soil.

This landmark initiative, which will take place at AMQ’s state-of-the-art facility in Brisbane, represents a significant step forward in zero-emissions transport and advanced vehicle engineering in Australia.

The partnership will see global innovation meet local capability, with AMQ spearheading the transformation of Hyundai’s pioneering hydrogen fuel cell truck to suit Australian road conditions and regulatory standards that will be an Australian first.

“This partnership is a testament to what’s possible when global innovation meets local ingenuity,” said Edward Kocwa, CEO of BOSSCAP Group, the parent company of AMQ. “We’re proud that Advanced Manufacturing Queensland, a 100% Australian Owned business, is not only leading this transformative project but also supporting close to 100 skilled local jobs right here in Brisbane. Our team is passionate about building Australia’s future in clean transport, right here at home.”
The project underscores Hyundai Motor Company’s commitment to global sustainability and local collaboration.

“Australia is an important market for Hyundai, especially in the advancement of hydrogen mobility,” said Don Romano, CEO of Hyundai Motor Company Australia. “We are proud to work with Advanced Manufacturing Queensland on this historic milestone. Their expertise, innovation and local footprint made them the ideal partner to bring this hydrogen truck to Australian roads for the first time.”

With demand for sustainable transport growing, this collaboration positions Queensland and Australia more broadly as a leader in clean vehicle technology and represents a major vote of confidence in the capability and capacity of BOSSCAP Group and its Subsidiary company Advanced Manufacturing Queensland.
