HTEC to Deploy 100 Hydrogen-Powered Trucks in British Columbia
Key Ideas
  • HTEC announced plans to deploy 100 hydrogen-powered Fuel Cell Electric Trucks (FCETs) in British Columbia through the H2 Gateway program, aiming to reduce the commercial transportation sector's reliance on fossil fuels.
  • The project, supported by BC's Ministry of Energy, Mines, and Low Carbon Innovation with a $10.3 million investment, will establish an initial fleet of 100 heavy-duty, zero-emission FCETs and up to 20 new hydrogen refuelling stations in targeted regional hubs.
  • HTEC will also build three new clean hydrogen production facilities in Burnaby, Nanaimo, and Prince George, with a facility in North Vancouver for liquefying vented by-product hydrogen, contributing to the province's goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
  • The initiative, led by HTEC's H2 Gateway program, showcases the commitment to driving the adoption of hydrogen as a transportation fuel, creating good jobs in the clean economy sector and pioneering large-scale, heavy-duty hydrogen-powered fleet operations in BC.
HTEC, based in Vancouver, recently revealed its strategic plan to introduce 100 hydrogen-powered Fuel Cell Electric Trucks (FCETs) in British Columbia as part of the H2 Gateway program. This initiative aims to address the environmental impact of the commercial transportation sector, which contributes significantly to the province's greenhouse gas emissions. The project, backed by an investment of $10.3 million from BC's Ministry of Energy, Mines, and Low Carbon Innovation, will focus on setting up a fleet of 100 zero-emission FCETs and constructing around 20 new hydrogen refuelling stations in specific regional hubs across BC. In addition to the deployment of FCETs, HTEC plans to establish three clean hydrogen production facilities in Burnaby, Nanaimo, and Prince George, along with a facility in North Vancouver dedicated to liquefying vented by-product hydrogen. By expanding the infrastructure for hydrogen refuelling and production, HTEC aims to support the transition towards sustainable transportation solutions and reduce the sector's dependence on fossil fuels. The introduction of hydrogen-powered trucks through the H2 Gateway program aligns with the government's efforts to promote a clean economy and mitigate the province's carbon footprint. The project signifies a crucial step towards achieving the goal of decreasing greenhouse gas emissions and fostering innovation in the transportation industry. By leveraging hydrogen technology, HTEC is not only driving the adoption of zero-emission vehicles but also creating job opportunities in the clean energy sector, emphasizing the importance of sustainable practices in commercial transportation.
