Hyzon, a U.S.-based hydrogen fuel cell system manufacturer, successfully completed a trial of North America's first hydrogen-powered refuse collection truck in partnership with New Way Trucks and Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery (MDRR). The trial, conducted in parts of California, demonstrated the effectiveness of hydrogen as a sustainable, zero-emission alternative to diesel fuel, meeting California's Advanced Clean Fleet requirements. Hyzon's CEO highlighted the potential for hydrogen to drive decarbonization in challenging sectors like waste and recycling without compromising performance. The refuse collection FCET, developed by Hyzon and New Way Trucks, showed impressive fuel efficiency, traveling over 125 miles with over 1,300 cart lifts on a single hydrogen fill, representing a significant advancement in heavy-duty waste management. The collaboration between Hyzon, New Way Trucks, and MDRR signifies a milestone in decarbonizing the North American waste and recycling industry. Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery's CEO emphasized their commitment to innovation in waste and recycling management, showcasing the positive impact of the pilot program with Hyzon. Additionally, New Way Trucks' Chief Sales Officer highlighted the importance of industry-technology partnerships in driving sustainable solutions and achieving zero-emission goals. Hyzon's trial program, encompassing refuse collection FCETs and Class 8 200kW FCETs, has demonstrated the potential for hydrogen fuel cell systems to significantly improve operational and environmental performance in the transportation sector. With plans to conduct trials with over 30 major fleets by early 2025, Hyzon remains focused on advancing the adoption of hydrogen technology in the industry.
