Walmart Canada has recently introduced a hydrogen fuel cell-powered electric semi-truck in Mississauga, Ontario, as part of its efforts to transition to a 100% alternatively powered fleet. This move makes Walmart Canada the first major retailer in Canada to incorporate a hydrogen fuel cell electric semi-truck into its operations. The Class 8 tractor, manufactured by Nikola, boasts a range of approximately 800 kilometers and can help avoid around 97 metric tons of CO2 emissions annually. This introduction of hydrogen fuel cell trucks paves the way for longer-haul journeys with alternative power sources, going beyond the current electric options available in the fleet. The hydrogen fuel cell electric semi-truck was sourced by ITD Industries Inc. in Ontario and will primarily be used for longer-haul trips within the province. Gonzalo Gebara, Walmart Canada's president and CEO, expressed pride in this milestone and highlighted it as a significant step towards Walmart Canada's goal of becoming a regenerative company. The collaboration between Walmart Canada and Nikola, with Steve Girsky as Nikola's president and CEO, emphasizes a shared vision for sustainability and environmental responsibility in the transportation industry. The hydrogen fuel cell electric semi-truck operates by converting high-pressure gaseous hydrogen onboard to electricity through a fuel cell stack, resulting in water vapor as the sole byproduct. This electricity powers the vehicle's e-axle with integrated electric motors, facilitating sustainable and environmentally friendly transportation.
