Truck manufacturers, albeit facing the dissolution of Hyzon, remain optimistic about the future of hydrogen-powered refuse vehicles in the waste and recycling industry. Despite Hyzon's closure, manufacturers like New Way Trucks continue to show interest in hydrogen fuel cell technology for refuse trucks. The early success of hydrogen fuel cell-powered trucks in certain applications has sparked further innovation and partnerships in the industry. While challenges such as fueling infrastructure and regulatory uncertainties exist, manufacturers are focusing on meeting the demands of sustainability-focused customers. The sector's interest in battery-electric vehicles is also growing, with notable orders for electric refuse vehicles. Proponents of hydrogen fuel cell-powered trucks emphasize their potential as a lighter alternative to battery-electric vehicles, making them suitable for various hauling routes. The need for strategic deployment of hydrogen fueling stations presents a key challenge for wider adoption. Fleet operators are exploring interim solutions like on-site fuel tanks. Despite the push for 'one-to-one' diesel truck replacements, industry experts foresee a mixed fleet approach with different types of vehicles. Beyond emissions savings, hydrogen fuel cell-powered trucks are seen as a recruitment tool for haulers, offering a more pleasant work environment. Overall, manufacturers and industry stakeholders remain determined to advance hydrogen fuel cell technology in the waste and recycling sector, aiming to meet both regulatory requirements and customer preferences.
