Hyzon, a U.S.-based hydrogen fuel cell system manufacturer, has secured a groundbreaking order from GreenWaste, a pioneer in recycling and innovation, for North America's first 12 hydrogen-powered refuse Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs). This partnership represents a significant leap forward in decarbonizing the waste industry, with Hyzon's CEO Parker Meeks emphasizing the compelling value proposition of their high-performance hydrogen fuel cells. The vehicles, set to be the first of their kind available for trial and purchase in North America, are part of GreenWaste's strategy to lead in sustainability by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. GreenWaste's CEO, Tracy Adams, highlighted the company's history of innovation and commitment to environmentally responsible practices.
Furthermore, Hyzon's recent announcement of the Start of Production of its standardized Fuel Cell System (FCS) further accelerates the decarbonization efforts in heavy-duty industries. The collaboration between Hyzon and New Way Trucks, a leading refuse truck body manufacturer, signifies a joint effort to introduce hydrogen fuel cell electric refuse collection to the North American waste and recycling industry. Don Ross, Chief Sales Officer for New Way, expressed excitement about this partnership and the prospect of setting a new standard for the industry.
With deliveries expected to GreenWaste starting in Q4 2025, the introduction of these hydrogen-powered refuse FCEVs marks a milestone in advancing sustainable practices within the waste management sector.
