ROCHESTER, N.Y., July 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyzon Motors
Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiary Hyzon Motors Australia,
is cleaning up garbage collection through a partnership with
Superior Pak, a leading Australian manufacturer of waste handling
equipment. This announcement comes ahead of Hyzon Motors' first day
of trading under the symbols "HYZN" and "HYZNW" on the Nasdaq
Marketplace, scheduled for Monday, July
19.
Hyzon, a global supplier of zero-emission, hydrogen
fuel-cell vehicles, announced today a Memorandum of Understanding
to develop and supply 20 refuse collection vehicles (RCV) together
with Superior Pak. The partnership will leverage Superior Pak's 25
years of experience designing and engineering mobile waste
collection and compaction equipment and Hyzon's leading fuel cell
technology.
The companies aim to deliver a zero-emissions, high-performance
side lift garbage truck, capable of undertaking the 1500-2000
compactor lifts required during an 8-10 hour suburban working
cycle. The first 5 vehicles are expected to be delivered and
operational in Q2 2022.
Three of the first 5 vehicles are expected to be available from
Hyzon under minimum 1 month demonstration loan arrangements in the
Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne areas associated with available
hydrogen refueling facilities. Orders are currently being
accepted for the balance of 15 vehicles with expected demand from
local governments as well as waste collection operators across
Australia.
Superior Pak has already delivered over 3,000 compaction units
for more than 50 municipalities in Australia and New
Zealand, providing existing relationships from which to grow
the distribution.
"Over 530 Australian municipalities manage waste collection for
their residents, many of which have committed to net-zero emissions
across their operations," said Hyzon CEO Craig Knight. "Despite these commitments, few
viable zero-emissions options exist."
In fact, the vehicle developed by Hyzon and Superior Pak is
expected to be the first clean RCV available in Australia to undertake full operational
curb-side collection duties.
Refuse collection offers a particularly suitable application for
hydrogen fuel cell technology to replace diesel, as the
back-to-base model allows for a central refueling infrastructure.
Operating the hydraulic lifts also demands significant power, which
Hyzon's high-density fuel cells can readily supply.
"Clean waste management is no longer an oxymoron," said
Rob Wrigley, Managing Director of
Superior Pak. "The benefits to the environment, the communities and
drivers is enormous, so we are determined to develop a reliable,
accessible option within a year."
Hydrogen vehicles, with their rapid torque, long-range, almost
silent running and quick refueling – all while only emitting
water vapor – are primed to take off in the garbage collection
segment.
