12.17.24
Bolingbrook, IL – Hyzon (NASDAQ: HYZN) (Hyzon or the Company), a U.S.-based, high-performance, hydrogen fuel cell system manufacturer and technology developer focused on providing zero-emission power to decarbonize the most demanding industries, today announced an order for two fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) – a refuse collection and Class 8 200kW truck – from South San Francisco Scavenger Co., a family-owned company providing solid waste and recycling services to communities in the Bay Area since 1914. This order follows multiple successful FCEV trials, as well as Hyzon and New Way Trucks securing an initial order in October for North America’s first-ever refuse collection FCEV. The orders are subject to certain conditions including the availability of applicable subsidies.
“Hyzon’s fuel cell technology combines zero-emission performance with the power and reliability needed for demanding applications like refuse collection,” said Hyzon Chief Executive Officer Parker Meeks. “We are proud to receive this order from a company that has been keeping communities cleaner for over a century and look forward to delivering our proven hydrogen-powered technology to meet the operational demands for the South San Francisco Scavenger Company,” added Meeks.
Hyzon’s refuse collection FCEV is built in cooperation with New Way Trucks, a privately held, industry-leading refuse truck body manufacturer. The FCEV is North America's first refuse collection FCEV, powered by Hyzon’s high-performance hydrogen fuel cell systems. It demonstrates consistent power over a range of at least 125 miles, including a minimum of 1,300 cart lifts along with trips to the transfer station, all while achieving up to 300 percent increased fuel efficiency over traditional diesel trucks.
“As a company dedicated to sustainability and innovation, we are excited to integrate Hyzon’s hydrogen-powered trucks into our fleet,” said Doug Button, President of South San Francisco Scavenger Company. “This partnership reflects our commitment to adopting cutting-edge technologies that reduce emissions while maintaining the performance standards our community relies upon,” he said.
“New Way’s partnership with Hyzon, along with companies like South San Francisco Scavenger who are dedicated to sustainable innovation, puts us in a unique position to be able to provide zero-emissions alternative power solutions to haulers and together expand decarbonization across the waste industry,” said Don Ross, Chief Sales Officer for New Way.
This order is Hyzon’s second for its refuse collection FCEV, with the first coming in October 2024 from recycling and innovation pioneer GreenWaste®.
