North America's First Hydrogen-Powered Refuse Collection Vehicles
Key Ideas
- Hyzon has entered into a landmark agreement with GreenWaste for the first 12 hydrogen-powered refuse Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) in North America.
- The FCEVs produce zero tailpipe emissions, supporting GreenWaste's sustainability initiatives and goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 45% by 2030.
- GreenWaste successfully trialed Hyzon's refuse FCEV and is set to be the first company in North America to commercially operate hydrogen-powered refuse collection vehicles, partnering with New Way Trucks.
- The deliveries of the refuse FCEVs to GreenWaste are expected to start as soon as Q4 2025, marking a significant step in decarbonizing the waste and recycling industry in North America.
Hyzon, a U.S.-based hydrogen fuel cell system manufacturer, has secured an order for North America's first 12 hydrogen-powered refuse Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) with GreenWaste. This marks a significant milestone in the decarbonization efforts of the waste industry. Hyzon's technology offers zero-emission power, addressing the demanding challenges of refuse trucks.
The FCEVs are part of GreenWaste's commitment to sustainability, aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 45% by 2030. Following successful trials of Hyzon's refuse FCEV in the Bay Area, GreenWaste is poised to lead the commercial operation of these vehicles in North America, further solidifying their position as sustainability leaders.
The partnership between Hyzon, GreenWaste, and New Way Trucks will see the manufacturing of these hydrogen-powered refuse collection vehicles. New Way Trucks' expertise in refuse collection combined with Hyzon's focus on decarbonization will pave the way for a cleaner waste and recycling industry. Deliveries of the refuse FCEVs are anticipated to begin in Q4 2025, shaping a greener future for the waste management sector.
