STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Swedish truck maker Volvo <VOLVb.ST> said on Tuesday it had signed a deal with German rival Daimler <DAIGn.DE> to set up a joint venture to develop and produce fuel cell systems for heavy-duty vehicles.

Daimler will consolidate all its current fuel cell activities in the joint venture. Volvo said in a statement it will acquire 50% in the joint venture for the sum of approximately 600 million euros (24.26 million pounds) on a cash and debt free basis.

The deal was preliminary and non-binding it added.
