Revolutionizing Refuse Collection: Hydrogen-Fueled Trucks Showcasing Performance and Viability
Key Ideas
- New Way Trucks and Hyzon are leading the way in demonstrating the viability of hydrogen fuel cell technology in the refuse collection industry.
- The trials with hydrogen-fueled trucks across California and Canada have shown promising results, highlighting the reliability and performance of the technology.
- Hyzon's high-performance hydrogen fuel cell systems offer consistent power over an expected range of at least 125 miles, providing a sustainable solution for heavy-duty applications.
- The partnership between New Way and Hyzon aims to propel the industry forward by offering waste haulers the opportunity to meet zero emissions goals and decarbonization initiatives.
New Way Trucks and Hyzon are collaborating to showcase the value of hydrogen fuel cell-powered electric refuse collection vehicles in North America. The companies introduced North America's first hydrogen fuel cell-powered electric refuse vehicle at Waste Expo in Las Vegas. These trucks combine New Way's expertise in refuse collection with Hyzon's focus on zero-emission power, offering a lighter weight vehicle with more payload compared to battery electric options. Trials in California and Canada have demonstrated the viability of hydrogen fuel cell technology in the refuse industry, addressing challenges like range issues and payload limitations. Hyzon's Class 8 200kW FCEV tractor-trailer trial program with North American fleet customers further emphasizes the potential of hydrogen as a sustainable option. The partnership between New Way and Hyzon aims to revolutionize refuse collection by providing a more sustainable, alternative power solution for waste haulers looking to achieve clean energy requirements.
