The trial further demonstrated hydrogen’s effectiveness as a sustainable, zero-emission alternative to diesel fuel, aligning with California’s Advanced Clean Fleet requirements and furthering Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery’s commitment to environmental stewardship and innovation. Additionally, this represented Hyzon’s tenth trial since July 2024 across both of its Class 8 and refuse collection FCETs, all of which have been successful in meeting or exceeding the expectations set forth by the potential customer.
“We are proud to partner with Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery in pioneering the use of hydrogen fuel cell technology for heavy-duty waste management,” said Hyzon CEO, Parker Meeks. “This successful trial showcases the potential for hydrogen to drive meaningful decarbonisation, without sacrificing performance, in challenging sectors like waste and recycling. We are excited to be driving forward hydrogen-powered solutions in collaboration with our customers that deliver both environmental and operational benefits,” added Meeks.
Hyzon’s refuse collection FCET is built in partnership between Hyzon and New Way Trucks, a privately held, industry-leading refuse truck body manufacturer. The vehicle is North America's first refuse collection FCET. New Way's expertise and leadership in refuse collection and Hyzon's focus on providing zero-emission power to decarbonise the most demanding industries combine to make decarbonised refuse collection a reality for the North American waste and recycling industry.
“We are relentless about innovation to transform the way we manage waste and recycling to maximise our environmental and financial performance,” said Kish Rajan, CEO of Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery. “This pilot program is yet another example of what sets MDRR apart.”
