Hyzon, a US fuel cell maker and truck integrator, has secured an order for two hydrogen fuel cell trucks from South San Francisco Scavenger Co., a refuse collection firm based in San Francisco. The order, in partnership with New Way Trucks, involves two 200kW Class 8 fuel cell electric trucks. This deal follows successful trials and a previous order in October. The order is subject to conditions, including subsidies availability. The trucks are set to benefit from California's incentive schemes, offering considerable financial support for fuel cell electric vehicle buyers.
