Hyzon, a hydrogen fuel cell system manufacturer, has successfully completed a trial of its refuse collection fuel cell electric truck in California in partnership with New Way Trucks and Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery (MDRR). The trial, conducted in various parts of California, including Concord, Pittsburg, Oakley, Rio Vista, and Contra Costa, signifies a significant advancement in adopting zero-emission technology in the waste and recycling sector. Aligning with California's Advanced Clean Fleet requirements, the trial highlighted hydrogen's effectiveness as a sustainable alternative to diesel fuel, furthering MDRR's commitment to environmental stewardship. Parker Meeks, CEO of Hyzon, expressed pride in pioneering the use of hydrogen fuel cell technology in heavy-duty waste management. The successful trial demonstrated hydrogen's potential to drive decarbonization without compromising performance in challenging sectors like waste and recycling. The refuse collection FCET, developed by Hyzon and New Way Trucks, is North America's first of its kind. MDRR's CEO, Kish Rajan, emphasized the company's dedication to innovation for maximizing environmental and financial performance. The trial showed that Hyzon's hydrogen fuel cell system provided consistent power over an expected range of 125 miles, with increased fuel efficiency of up to 300% compared to traditional diesel trucks. Moreover, the trial projected a range of over 1,500 cart lifts on a single fill of hydrogen in some route structures. Hyzon is also progressing its Class 8 200-kW FCET trial program, aiming to complete trials with more than 30 major fleets by February 2025. These initiatives aim to advance hydrogen-powered solutions for heavy-duty applications, contributing to a more sustainable future in the transportation sector.
