Hyzon to power first hydrogen powered refuse trucks in North America
Hyzon’s refuse collection FCEVs will be built in partnership between Hyzon and New Way Trucks, a privately held, industry-leading refuse truck body manufacturer. Refuse FCEV deliveries are expected to GreenWaste starting as soon as Q4 2025.
Hyzon has entered into a purchase agreement for North America’s first 12 hydrogen-powered refuse Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) with recycling and innovation pioneer GreenWaste, contingent upon Hyzon meeting certain commercial terms and specifications as defined in the agreement. The purchase agreement comes on the back of GreenWaste’s trial of Hyzon’s refuse FCEV, where it successfully completed several trial routes throughout the Bay Area, testing for payload, can-lifts and range.
