Hyzon has launched a locally-made hydrogen-powered prime mover that is set to go into pilot programs across Australia later this year, scaling production in 2025.
The US-headquartered company, with an Australian assembly plant at Noble Park, unveiled the 50-tonne truck, which comes equipped with a single stack 200kW fuel cell system and powertrain, at a ceremony in the Kangan Institute in Melbourne.
The prime mover is Hyzon’s second locally designed, engineered and built hydrogen fuel cell electric truck, following the launch of a refuse truck which went into commercial operation in NSW in October 2023.
The truck has a range of about 400km on a full tank of hydrogen gas, depending on the terrain and the weight of the load.
A major barrier to the uptake of hydrogen-powered trucks is the lack of hydrogen refuelling stations in Australia. Another pain point is the price of the truck, which comes in at approximately $800-$850k.
