North America's First Hydrogen-Powered Refuse Vehicle Order Marks Sustainability Milestone
Key Ideas
- Hyzon enters purchase agreement for the first 12 hydrogen-powered refuse Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) in North America with GreenWaste, a recycling pioneer.
- The technology offers zero-emission power, supporting GreenWaste's sustainability goals, including a 45% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
- GreenWaste successfully trialed Hyzon's refuse FCEV in the Bay Area and is set to become the first in North America to commercially operate them, furthering their commitment to innovation and sustainability.
- Refuse FCEV deliveries to GreenWaste are expected to commence as early as Q4 2025, marking a significant step in decarbonizing the waste and recycling industry.
Hyzon, a U.S.-based hydrogen fuel cell system manufacturer, has secured a milestone purchase agreement for North America's first 12 hydrogen-powered refuse Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) with GreenWaste, a leader in recycling and innovation. The collaboration aims to transform trucking in the waste industry by providing zero-emission power through high-performance hydrogen fuel cells. GreenWaste's commitment to sustainability is further emphasized by their 2030 goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 45%, supported by the introduction of hydrogen-powered refuse FCEVs. The successful trial of Hyzon's refuse FCEV in the Bay Area paved the way for GreenWaste to lead the commercial operation of these vehicles in North America. The partnership between Hyzon and New Way Trucks will see the production of these cutting-edge vehicles, aiming to revolutionize the waste and recycling industry. With deliveries expected to start in Q4 2025, this initiative represents a significant leap towards decarbonization and sustainable waste management in North America.
