Hyzon, a U.S.-based hydrogen fuel cell system manufacturer, successfully completed a trial of its hydrogen-powered refuse collection truck with Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery (MDRR) in California. This trial marked a significant milestone in the adoption of zero-emission technology for heavy-duty applications in the waste and recycling sector. The vehicle was tested on routes in cities like Concord, Pittsburg, Oakley, and Rio Vista, showcasing hydrogen's effectiveness as a sustainable, zero-emission alternative to diesel fuel. Hyzon's high-performance hydrogen fuel cell systems demonstrated consistent power over a range of at least 125 miles, with significantly increased fuel efficiency compared to traditional diesel trucks. The successful trial aligned with California's Advanced Clean Fleet requirements and furthered MDRR's commitment to environmental stewardship and innovation. Hyzon's CEO, Parker Meeks, highlighted the potential of hydrogen to drive decarbonization in challenging sectors while delivering environmental and operational benefits. The company's partnership with New Way Trucks, a leading refuse truck body manufacturer, resulted in the creation of North America's first refuse collection Fuel Cell Electric Truck (FCET). The collaboration aims to make decarbonized refuse collection a reality in the North American waste and recycling industry. MDRR's CEO, Kish Rajan, emphasized the company's commitment to innovation in waste and recycling management. The successful trial with Hyzon demonstrated the power of industry and technology experts partnering to bring sustainable solutions to the sector. Hyzon's trial program has showcased the range and fuel efficiency of its hydrogen fuel cell systems, projecting over 1,500 cart lifts on a single fill of hydrogen. In addition to the refuse collection FCET trials, Hyzon is advancing its Class 8 200kW FCET trial program, with plans to complete trials with over 30 major fleets by early 2025. This initiative aims to accelerate the adoption of hydrogen fuel cell technology in heavy-duty commercial vehicles, emphasizing the company's role in the clean energy transition.
