In a significant development for Australia's transportation sector, Toll Transport has made a substantial investment in hydrogen fuel cell technology by ordering two Taurus 70ft Hydrogen Fuel Cell (HFC) prime movers. This deal, valued at over $2 million, is part of a broader agreement. Pure Hydrogen, through its majority-owned subsidiary HDrive International, facilitated the sale of these cutting-edge trucks, which are scheduled for delivery later this year and intended for use in a B-double configuration. Notably, the Taurus prime mover has achieved the distinction of being the first Vehicle Type Approved (VTA) hydrogen fuel cell vehicle of its kind in Australia, having met the stringent Australian Design Rules (ADR) standards. The adoption of this eco-friendly technology marks a significant step towards sustainable and clean transportation solutions in the country. Furthermore, Pure Hydrogen's commitment to advancing hydrogen infrastructure is evident as they recently delivered an HFC waste collection truck to Solo Resource Recovery, an Australian waste management company. This truck is designated for use in the City of West Torrens Council in Adelaide, showcasing the expanding applications of hydrogen fuel cell technology in various sectors for a greener future.
