Green truck collects dirty waste
The US waste management company Recology is testing North America's first hydrogen fuel cell-powered electric refuse collection vehicle in San Francisco, CA (USA).
The truck was developed in partnership with New Way Trucks and Hyzon. Recology will be the first waste and recycling company to pilot this hydrogen fuel cell-powered electric refuse vehicle in the USA.
In 2019, the company put into service the nation's first electric class 8 rear loader in Seattle. Since then, it has tested electric collection vehicles throughout its operations and has prioritised the use of renewable or alternative fuels in its fleet, reducing its emissions from fuel use by more than 77% since 2018.
