Recology, a waste management company, has initiated testing of the first hydrogen fuel cell-powered electric refuse collection vehicle in North America in partnership with Hyzon and New Way Trucks. The trial, conducted in San Francisco, aims to confirm the vehicle's ability to complete collection routes efficiently and transport heavy loads while producing zero emissions. This initiative marks a significant step towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions and addressing air pollution in the region. Tyrone Jue, director of the San Francisco Environment Department, highlighted the importance of utilizing cleaner vehicles to meet environmental goals. The partnership between Recology, Hyzon, and New Way Trucks signifies a commitment to innovation in the waste management sector. Eric Evans and Don Ross from New Way Trucks expressed enthusiasm for showcasing the viability of hydrogen fuel cell technology, particularly in the environmental services industry. Following the San Francisco trial, Recology plans to expand testing to other cities in the Bay Area, with subsequent trials scheduled across California and Canada. In addition to the refuse collection vehicle, Hyzon has launched a Class 8 200kW FCEV tractor-trailer trial program to demonstrate the sustainability of hydrogen fuel cells in the industry. The trials are expected to validate the consistent power and range capabilities of the hydrogen fuel cell systems, promoting a shift towards cleaner and more environmentally friendly solutions.
