Cenntro receives EPA certification for hydrogen fuel cell semi-truck

FREEHOLD, N.J. - Cenntro Inc. (NASDAQ:CENN), a micro-cap electric vehicle manufacturer with a market value of $21.46 million, announced Tuesday it has received U.S. Environmental Protection Agency certification for its second-generation hydrogen fuel cell Class 8 semi-tractor, the BM860H.

Developed by the company’s wholly owned subsidiary Bison Motors Inc., the BM860H is powered by a 210kW hydrogen fuel cell system and offers an estimated driving range of up to 528 miles with a full payload, according to the company’s press release.

The vehicle has met all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, while certification from the California Air Resources Board is currently under review.

"This achievement marks an important milestone for our team and for hydrogen vehicle technology in the commercial sector," said Peter Wang, Chairman and CEO of Cenntro. According to InvestingPro data, while the company maintains strong liquidity with a current ratio of 2.03, it faces profitability challenges with negative EBITDA of $27.86 million.

The company plans to source key components primarily from U.S.-based manufacturers, with final assembly taking place at Cenntro’s production facility in Southern California.

Cenntro, which describes itself as a provider of electric commercial vehicles, said the BM860H features rapid refueling capabilities while producing zero emissions.

The announcement comes as more commercial vehicle manufacturers explore alternative fuel technologies to meet increasingly stringent emissions regulations. Investors can track Cenntro’s progress with this initiative when the company reports its next earnings on August 13, 2025.
