This agreement positions GreenWaste as a pioneer in North America for operating hydrogen-powered refuse trucks. The decision by GreenWaste follows a successful trial period conducted by Hyzon in the Bay Area, which assessed vital performance factors such as payload capacity and operational range. Hyzon's CEO, Parker Meeks, expressed confidence in the increasing demand for hydrogen-powered refuse collection, attributing it to the high performance of their hydrogen fuel cells. The company's technology aims to provide a zero-emission solution to meet the rigorous demands of refuse trucks on a daily basis.
