Hyzon Motors, has partnered with REMONDIS Australia to conduct a commercial trial of its hydrogen fuel truck. This collaboration aims to revolutionize waste management and contribute to the decarbonization of Australia’s transport sector.
The Partnership with REMONDIS Australia
REMONDIS Australia, has been selected as the partner for Hyzon Motors’ commercial trial deployment. REMONDIS is well-positioned to test and evaluate the performance of Hyzon’s hydrogen-powered waste collection truck. The trial will take place in the Wollongong and Shellharbour municipalities, serving a wide range of commercial, industrial, and municipal customers.
A Road-Ready Solution for Zero Emissions
The hydrogen fuel cell waste collection truck developed by Hyzon Motors is a locally designed heavy rigid vehicle that complies with Australian Design Rules (ADR). and is fully registered for operation on Australian roads. Drawing on the expertise of local engineers and technical professionals, Hyzon has created a global platform that can be adapted for various vehicle use cases, including garbage compactors, tilt trays, and flatbed trucks. By ensuring compliance with local regulations and leveraging local talent, Hyzon Motors demonstrates its commitment to building zero-emission solutions in Australia.
Accelerating the Transition to Zero Emissions
The commencement of the commercial trial marks a significant milestone for Hyzon Motors and the Australian transport sector’s decarbonization efforts. John Edgley, Managing Director of Hyzon Motors Australia, emphasizes the importance of this trial in building confidence within the trucking industry to accelerate the transition to zero emissions.
Edgley further emphasizes the role of hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles in the decarbonization of the transport sector, highlighting their potential as a key component of Australia and New Zealand’s fuel security strategy.
The Promise of Hydrogen Fuel-Cell Technology
Hydrogen fuel-cell technology holds immense promise for the transportation sector. This makes them an ideal solution for reducing carbon emissions and combating air pollution. As the world shifts towards a more sustainable future, hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles are gaining recognition as a viable alternative to traditional combustion engines.

The use of hydrogen fuel cells in waste collection trucks offers unique advantages. These vehicles operate in stop-and-go traffic conditions, which can lead to increased fuel consumption and emissions in conventional diesel trucks.
Overcoming Challenges and Building Confidence
While hydrogen fuel-cell technology holds significant potential, there are challenges that need to be addressed for its widespread adoption. The availability and accessibility of hydrogen refueling infrastructure remain a key concern.
