The refuse sector is embracing hydrogen fuel cell technology as an alternative to traditional diesel or CNG-powered trucks for waste collection. Companies like New Way and Hyzon are pioneering the development of North America's first fuel cell-powered refuse truck, aiming to offer a seamless transition to zero-emission vehicles. The hydrogen fuel cell trucks have demonstrated impressive range and operational capabilities, making them a promising solution for waste haulers. With ongoing testing and evaluation in cities like San Francisco and Edmonton, these trucks are proving their reliability even in challenging conditions like cold weather. Compared to battery-powered trucks, fuel cell trucks offer advantages such as lighter weight, longer operating range, and shorter refueling times, facilitating the decarbonization of the heavy-duty trucking sector. The familiarity of fleets with CNG-powered trucks further streamlines the transition to hydrogen fuel cells, as the designs share similarities in terms of storage tanks and fueling processes. By leveraging existing chassis and components, the integration of fuel cell systems into refuse trucks becomes more efficient and cost-effective, encouraging the adoption of sustainable transportation practices.
