Hyundai’s Hydrogen-powered Truck to Hit the Road
平地山地通行無阻
Hyundai’s hydrogen-powered truck, the H2 Xcient, will hit the road in Switzerland with its zero-emission technology.
南韓現代汽車出產的零碳排氫動力卡車H2 Xcient即將在瑞士上路。

The hydrogen fuel cell is a type of green energy that was developed two centuries ago, but it isn’t common in commercial use because of its high price and storage difficulty.
氫燃料電池也屬於綠能之一,兩世紀前就已開始發展,但因為高價和儲存不易,商業應用並不常見。
fuel(n.)(v.)燃料hydrogen-fuelleddevelop(v.)發展common(adj.)常見的、共同的have something in common有共通點commercial(adj.)商業的(n.)廣告storage(n.)儲存difficulty(n.)困難
As half of the electricity generated in Switzerland comes from hydropower, this makes it possible to reduce the cost of operating hydrogen fuel cells there.
由於瑞士有一半以上的能源來自水力發電,成本得以降低。
generate(v.)產生hydropower(n.)水力發電 hydroelectric powerreduce(n.)減少、降低=decreaseoperate(v.)運作、操作
Moreover, a key advantage of hydrogen fuel cells is that they are much lighter than current electric batteries.
此外,氫燃料電池的關鍵優勢是重量比許多現行電池來得輕許多。
key(adj.)關鍵的advantage(n.)優點、優勢take advantage of sth.利用、佔便宜disadvantage(n.)缺點、劣勢benefit(n.)好處、利益current(adj.)現行的
Hyundai says that lithium batteries are not ideal for trucks, as they become heavier when the trucks get bigger.
現代汽車表示,鋰電池對於貨車並不理想,因為車身越大,電池就越重,
lithium(n.)鋰ideal(adj.)理想的the –er, the –er越…就越…the bigger the trucks get, the heavier the batteries are
That makes it difficult for large trucks to climb up mountains.
行駛山路就會有困難。
The hydrogen fuel cell allows the Hyundai H2 Xcient to outperform on mobility with its lighter weight, and to last much longer with its range of more than 400 km.
輕量氫燃料電池讓現代H2 Xcient貨卡在機動性上勝出,而且也有更持久的續航力,超過400公里以上。
allow(v.)允許、讓perform(v.)表現mobility(n.)機動性、活動性mobile(adj.)行動的last(v.)持續range(n.)範圍
The H2 Xcient truck is set to take on complex terrain in an upcoming trial in the Swiss Alps.
H2 Xcient貨卡即將在瑞士阿爾卑斯山試駕,征服複雜的地形。
be set to準備要、即將要all set準備好be about to即將要take on接受、承擔complex(adj.)複雜的complicated(adj.)複雜的terrain(n.)地形
Rainer Deutschmann, one of Hyundai’s partners, had this to say: “With an electric battery, instead of carrying merchandise around you are carrying around the battery. You have a 200 km range, which you can use for a city, but you cannot use it for the Alps. You can use the H2 for everything.”
現代汽車的合作夥伴德茨曼說:「開電動貨卡,除了運貨還得運電池。200公里的路程跑市區可以,但爬山不行。H2不管是平地還是爬山都可以。」
partner(n.)伴侶、合作夥伴merchandise(n.U)商品、貨物=goods
