GreenWaste orders 12 Hyzon hydrogen fuel cell refuse trucks

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.

Hyzon recently announced the Start of Production (SOP) of its single-stack 200kW Fuel Cell System (FCS), which enables Hyzon to manufacture standardized FCSs at volume for commercial sale, further accelerating the decarbonization of heavy-duty industries.

Hyzon’s FCEVs are the first hydrogen-powered refuse collection FCEVs available for trial and purchase in North America, and GreenWaste is set to be the first company in North America to operate them commercially.

The hydrogen-powered refuse collection FCEVs produce zero tailpipe emissions, supporting GreenWaste’s broader sustainability initiatives, including its 2030 goal to achieve a 45% reduction in total combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions from its 2022 baseline. In 2023, GreenWaste achieved a 36.3% reduction in total combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions from its 2022 baseline.

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 San Francisco Bay Area, testing for payload, can-lifts and range.

Seven years ago, GreenWaste made history by commercially operating the world’s first full-sized electric side-loading waste collection truck. Today, we are building on that legacy with our plan to be the first in North America to introduce hydrogen-powered zero emissions vehicles into our collection fleet.

For decades, we have been at the forefront of innovative and sustainable resource recovery and recycling. This latest investment in zero-emission technology reinforces our leadership within the industry and commitment to recovering, recycling, and reusing waste materials in the most innovative, environmentally responsible, and reliable ways possible.

—Tracy Adams, CEO of GreenWaste

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.

I like the idea of running trash trucks on landfill methane.
