Advancing Sustainable Solutions: Hydrogen-Powered Refuse Truck Trials Across North America
Key Ideas
  • New Way Trucks and Hyzon are leading cross-continental trials with the first hydrogen fuel cell-powered refuse collection truck in North America, showcasing the potential of hydrogen technology.
  • The trials include routes in the San Francisco Bay Area, customer demonstrations in California, and plans for expansion into western Canada, demonstrating the feasibility and value of hydrogen in the waste and recycling industry.
  • Hyzon's high-performance hydrogen fuel cell systems offer consistent power over a 125-mile range, proving to be a sustainable and reliable solution for heavy-duty applications like refuse collection.
  • The collaboration between New Way and Hyzon aims to provide zero-emission power for waste haulers, meeting sustainability goals and decarbonization initiatives with advanced hydrogen technology.
New Way Trucks and Hyzon are at the forefront of showcasing the viability and performance of hydrogen fuel cell technology in the waste and recycling industry. They debuted North America's first hydrogen fuel cell-powered electric refuse vehicle at Waste Expo in Las Vegas, with plans for trials in the San Francisco Bay Area and customer demonstrations across California and western Canada. The partnership integrates New Way's expertise in refuse collection with Hyzon's hydrogen fuel cell drivetrain, offering a lighter weight refuse vehicle with more payload and emissions-free operation. The hydrogen-powered refuse truck is set to prove its capabilities over various routes and operating conditions, demonstrating the value of hydrogen as a sustainable alternative in the heavy-duty commercial vehicle sector. Hyzon's hydrogen fuel cell systems provide consistent power over a significant range, making them a reliable solution for demanding applications like refuse collection. The companies are dedicated to accelerating the adoption of clean energy in the industry, promoting sustainability and decarbonization initiatives through innovative hydrogen technology.
