Virtual ride in hydrogen truck

A “Hydrogen Now” event run by Hyzon Motors on March 17 will showcase a virtual ride along in a zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell (FCEV) powered truck at Hyzon’s production-ready Groningen facility in The Netherlands.

The livestreaming event, which will feature the virtual ride, is scheduled for Wednesday, March 17, 2021, 9am to 9.20am US Eastern Standard Time – nearly a day behind Australia and New Zealand.

As announced earlier, Hyzon has entered a definitive agreement for a business combination with Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation, a publicly-traded special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) that would result in Hyzon becoming a publicly listed company.

Completion of the proposed transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2021.

Hyzon executives will provide brief remarks ahead of the “Hydrogen Now” event.

Hyzon’s European operations were formed through a joint venture between Hyzon Motors and Holthausen Clean Technology B.V. to produce high quality, locally built, zero-emission commercial vehicles.

The Groningen facility is already assembling hydrogen fuel cell powered heavy vehicles, and Hyzon is taking orders for deliveries of Hyzon-branded commercial vehicles worldwide.

Hyzon and Hiringa Energy (New Zealand) recently announced that the two companies had signed a vehicle supply agreement with Hyzone targeting the delivery of 1500 FCEV heavy trucks by 2026.

As binding orders for those trucks are placed, Hyzon anticipates fulfilling them from the Groningen facility, with first shipments planned for the second half of 2021.
