The Class 8 fuel cell-powered electric
refuse collection vehicle heads next to Recology in California to showcase its zero-emissions and
operational capabilities
LAS
VEGAS, May 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyzon (NASDAQ:
HYZN), a U.S.-based, leading hydrogen fuel cell technology
developer and global supplier of zero-emission powertrains and New
Way Trucks, a privately held industry-leading refuse truck body
manufacturer, are showcasing North
America's first hydrogen fuel cell-powered electric refuse
truck at Waste Expo, May 7-9 at the
Las Vegas Convention Center.
This debut to the U.S. market follows February's announcement of
the Joint Development Agreement (JDA) between New Way and Hyzon,
combining both companies' expertise and industry leadership to
develop a premier zero-emission refuse collection solution.
"Building on Hyzon's fuel cell electric refuse vehicle
experience in Australia, Hyzon and
New Way's strategic partnership assembled a historic vehicle to
eliminate emissions within a hard-to-abate industry," said Hyzon
Chief Executive Officer Parker
Meeks. "This is evidence of our shared mission to provide
North American refuse collection fleets with an alternative power
solution that both meets zero emissions requirements and performs
the hard work a refuse truck needs to deliver day in and day
out."
Through this partnership, Hyzon and New Way have been able to
make the hydrogen fuel cell electric refuse collection vehicle a
reality for the North American waste and recycling industry.
"As a growing market leader with a long history in building
high-performance refuse collection equipment, New Way is in a
unique position to be able to bring this sustainable, alternative
power solution to waste haulers looking to meet decarbonization
objectives and other clean energy requirements," said New Way Chief
Sales Officer Don Ross.
At Waste Expo, visitors to booth #1341 will see proof of the
hydrogen-powered electric refuse collection vehicle concept.
Hyzon's high-performance hydrogen fuel cells are tough enough to
provide consistent power over 125 miles, including up to 1,200 cart
lifts and trips to the transfer station. Combine that with the
strength and durability of New Way's most-requested automated side
loader – the Sidewinder XTR™ -- with smooth arm operation, up to a
12-foot reach and large 6-cubic-yard hopper for an unstoppable,
sustainable refuse collection powerhouse. Another feature in the
booth is a 200kw fuel cell display, along with an animation that
showcases how hydrogen fuel cell technology works and a fact sheet
on the New Way and Hyzon Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) and
vehicle specifications.
Both New Way and Hyzon look forward to further technology and
performance development with the Class 8 FCEV as more information
is gathered during customer demonstrations occurring throughout the
rest of 2024. After Waste Expo, the truck will test on routes in
California starting with Recology,
the San Francisco-based hauler.
Recology is an employee-owned solid waste and recycling collection
and processing company with a commitment to sustainable operations
at its core.
Recology has long shown its commitment to sustainable
transportation — the company recently achieved its goal to power
its fleet with more than 90 percent renewable or alternative fuels
— and now sees the demo of this first-of-its-kind hydrogen-powered
truck as an opportunity to be on the forefront of helping
decarbonize the industry.
"As a leader in fleet sustainability, we're proud to partner
with New Way and Hyzon to bring the first hydrogen fuel cell
electric collection vehicle to test in our communities in
California," said Recology CEO
Sal Coniglio. "Recology has been
preparing to transition our fleet to zero emission vehicles for
nearly six years, and we've yet to see a hydrogen fuel cell powered
refuse truck on the market during that time. This development is a
major milestone, and we're thrilled to be the first to demo this
technology to help move our business and the industry forward."
