Hyzon Motor Inc.'s 154-ton hydrogen fuel cell-powered trucks are planned for launch in Europe.

The company said it will sign an MOU to supply the truck, used in construction operations, to a European heavy lift, transport and rigging group.

The new truck deployment is expected to build on this Hyzon's high-density fuel cells, allowing its customers to power more challenging industrial work with clean hydrogen fuel.

"This technological development will demonstrate that hydrogen fuel cell vehicles can replace diesel for even the most heavy-duty needs," said Hyzon CEO Craig Knight.  The fully loaded trucks, 154 tons by U.S. measurement, are considered the industry's heaviest, and are expected to provide 480 kW of power. 

Additional interest in Hyzon's heavy trucks has been expressed by current and potential customers in Europe and Australia, such as mining companies and companies in other industries which require high-performance vehicles for use in rugged terrain, over long distances, and in rigorous industrial activities.
