Hyzon, a U.S.-based high-performance H₂ fuel cell system manufacturer and technology developer focused on providing zero-emission power to decarbonize the most demanding industries, announced the completion of a successful trial of its Class 8 200-kW fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) with TALKE, a leading provider of logistics solutions for the chemical industry. The trial was part of TALKE’s Houston drayage operations at TALKE USA.

"The success of this trial with TALKE aligns with the strong results we’ve seen across the seven other trials of our Class 8 200-kW FCEV truck," said Hyzon Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Parker Meeks. "These consistent outcomes reinforce our confidence as we move toward full commercial activation, marking an exciting step forward in deploying H₂ fuel cell solutions at scale."

Building on the success of its 110-kW trial two years ago, the 200-kW FCEV truck performed exceptionally well, effortlessly hauling containers with a smooth, dynamic and impressively quiet operation.

“This trial is a key part of TALKE’s preparations for zero-emission operations and aligns with our ongoing commitment to our global ESG program, #CraftingResponsibleLogistics,” said Richard Heath, TALKE President and CEO.

The successful trial result is part of TALKE’s preparation for potential deployment of a larger fleet of Class 8 FCEV trucks under various grant funding programs, for which Hyzon’s Class 8 200-kW FCEVs are being evaluated alongside competitors.

One of TALKE’s professional drivers, Timothy (Tim) Rivon shared, "I’ve been driving my whole life, even came out of retirement because I love it. Change can be tough, but you can’t beat the quieter ride and how smooth it drives."
