Hyzon receives US order for FCEV refuse collection vehicles
The purchase agreement between Hyzon and GreenWaste promises to provide the first 12 hydrogen-powered refuse fuel cell electric vehicles in North America. This deal marks a stepping stone towards decarbonising heavy-duty industries, and delivery is set to commence by Q4 of 2025. What’s more, the deal puts GreenWaste in the position of being the first company in North America to commercially operate such kind of hydrogen-powered trucks.
While Hyzon still has to meet commercial terms and specifications, the agreement indicates GreenWaste’s dedication to sustainability leadership in the waste industry. Past achievement of GreenWaste includes a 36.3% reduction in total combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions. With the new hydrogen-powered refuse collection FCEVs, GreenWaste pushes further to attain a 45% reduction in total combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, scaling higher from its 2022 baseline.
“Seven years ago, GreenWaste made history by commercially operating the world’s first full-sized electric side-loading waste collection truck. Today, we are building on that legacy with our plan to be the first in North America to introduce hydrogen-powered zero-emissions vehicles into our collection fleet,” said Tracy Adams, CEO of GreenWaste.
In the press release from Hyzon, it is said that the refuse collection FCEVs will be built in collaboration between Hyzon and New Way Trucks. New Way Trucks is an industry-leading refuse truck body manufacturer and will also make a significant contribution to bringing the first hydrogen fuel cell electric refuse collection to reality in the North American waste and recycling industry. This development comes after Hyzon recently launched a 200 kW Fuel Cell Electric Truck in September.
“New Way is excited to be working with GreenWaste to introduce the first-ever commercial application of hydrogen-powered refuse collection in North America. GreenWaste has been a long-time, valued New Way partner and, together with Hyzon, we are making the biggest steps forward to decarbonize the solid waste industry — with no compromise on range or dependency on the grid,” said Don Ross, Chief Sales Officer for New Way, and Chairman of the National Waste and Recycling Association.
