Hydron Company Overview

Hydron was established by Mo Chen, a Canadian entrepreneur and the co-founder of TuSimple, a leader in autonomous driving technology. Leveraging his extensive experience in the industry, Chen founded Hydron to create a new generation of heavy-duty trucks powered by hydrogen fuel cells and equipped with Level 4 (L4) autonomous driving technology. Hydron's mission is to revolutionize long-haul freight transport by offering a cleaner, safer, and more efficient alternative to traditional diesel-powered trucks. The company is committed to addressing the critical challenges of autonomous vehicle commercialization by focusing not only on software development but also on the reliable mass production of automotive-grade hardware. Hydron's trucks are designed to meet the rigorous requirements of L4 autonomy, featuring advanced sensors, computing units, and redundant systems. In addition to manufacturing hydrogen-powered trucks, Hydron is also working on developing a comprehensive hydrogen refueling infrastructure. This strategic move is aimed at ensuring that large fleets and leading carriers can seamlessly transition to hydrogen-powered transport. The company plans to collaborate with partners to build a manufacturing facility in North America, positioning itself to overcome U.S. supply chain challenges. Set to begin mass production by late 2024, Hydron's first-generation trucks will initially target the North American market, with plans to expand into Europe and the Middle East. Although Hydron operates independently from TuSimple, it benefits from the expertise and industry insights gained from Chen’s previous ventures. Hydron's ambitious goals align with broader industry trends towards sustainable transportation, positioning it as a key player in the evolving landscape of autonomous and hydrogen-powered vehicles​.
