- Hyzon's Repower program to convert used diesel trucks and
existing fleets to zero-emission, fuel cell electric vehicles.
- First commercial launch of Hyzon's proprietary 200 kW fuel cell
through Repower program in North
America expected in late 2022.
ROCHESTER, N.Y., May 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyzon Motors
(NASDAQ: HYZN), a global supplier of zero-emissions hydrogen and
fuel cell powered commercial vehicles, is finding new ways to bring
zero-emission vehicles to roads sooner.
Responding to customer demand for zero-emissions vehicles amidst
a global supply chain crisis, Hyzon plans to allow customers
to exchange their used diesel truck chassis for conversion to fuel
cell electric operation. After removing diesel components, these
used trucks will be upfitted with the company's proprietary fuel
cell system, electric drivetrain, and hydrogen storage system
through collaboration with Fontaine Modification.
"The Repower program is a natural solution for our current
situation: customers are seeking to urgently reduce emissions, but
current supply chain constraints make it very challenging to meet
demand. Thanks to the in-house production of our proprietary fuel
cells, Hyzon's Repower program can deliver zero-emissions vehicles
to customers sooner, with lower cost, and less waste," said Hyzon
CEO Craig Knight.
Hyzon projects that the Repower program will be a more efficient
method by which fleets decouple from diesel, putting clean trucks
on the road sooner. Current lead time for new vehicle chassis
ordered today is up to 16 months. Hyzon expects to Repower vehicles
much more quickly, since the company will have direct access to the
existing chassis. Repowering an existing vehicle is also expected
to reduce customer costs, leading to Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
at or below diesel parity in California, as a result of available
subsidies. Additionally, the Repower program avoids waste and
manufacturing carbon emissions generated by asset renewal.
A Hyzon 110 kW fuel cell Repower truck will be on display at the
Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo at the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, California between May 9 and May 12, 2022.
Hyzon's 200 kW hydrogen fuel cell Repower truck, based on the
most powerful fuel cell stack Hyzon has developed, will begin
testing by end of 2022; these heavy duty fuel cell systems will be
produced in the company's Bolingbrook facility in Illinois.
