Hyzon Motors Inc., a hydrogen fuel cell technology developer and global supplier of zero-emission heavy-duty fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), has announced a revised commercial agreement with TR Group, New Zealand's largest heavy-duty truck fleet owner, for up to 20 FCEVs upfit with Hyzon's single stack 200 kW fuel cell system starting with a commercial trial.

The first two trucks are scheduled to be ready for commercial trial beginning in March 2024, and will be deployed for up to three months. Following the initial commercial trial, TR Group has an option to purchase the two trial trucks as well as to upfit another 18 trucks with Hyzon's 200 kW fuel cell systems to be assembled at Hyzon's Melbourne, Australia facility.

This new agreement cancels and supersedes a previously announced agreement from January 2021, providing a revised commercial path for TR Group's first Hyzon FCEV truck deployments.

"We look forward to deploying the first trucks with 200 kW fuel cell systems produced by Hyzon in heavy-duty operations with TR Group. It marks a significant step toward the full commercialisation of our single stack 200 kW fuel cell system," said Hyzon CEO, Parker Meeks. "The critical competitive advantages our system offers, including improvements in total volume, manufacturing costs, total weight, and fuel efficiency, will help accelerate the decarbonisation of the transportation sector, with TR Group leading the way. Additionally, the upfitting contract in place for TR Group's optional 18 FCEVs aligns with our cash-efficient and technology-focused business model."
