A US-based vehicle maker is set to release a new hydrogen-powered heavy-duty commercial truck designed and assembled in Melbourne.
Hydrogen-powered truck manufacturer Hyzon Motors intends to bring its first locally built prime movers to Australian roads this year as it raises its bet on the technology’s ability to compete with purely battery-powered vehicles in decarbonising long-haul transport.
US-based Hyzon Motors has developed a zero-emissions hydrogen fuel cell-powered prime mover that has been designed and built at its assembly plant in Melbourne.
Hydrogen fuel cells, which emit only water vapour, are seen as a promising tool to help decarbonise heavy transport and potentially other industries as long as the process to manufacture the hydrogen is emissions-free.Electric vehicles account for more than 7 per cent of new car sales in Australia, but heavy vehicles have been harder to turn green.
