New Way and Hyzon Unveil North America’s First Hydrogen Fuel Cell Refuse Truck at Waste Expo
New Way and Hyzon have unveiled North America’s first hydrogen fuel cell-powered electric refuse truck at Waste Expo, showcasing a premier zero-emission refuse collection solution. This partnership combines Hyzon's fuel cell technology with New Way's industry-leading refuse truck body manufacturing expertise to provide a sustainable alternative power solution for waste haulers. The vehicle features Hyzon's high-performance hydrogen fuel cells, New Way's Sidewinder XTR™ automated side loader, and will undergo customer demonstrations in 2024, starting with routes in California with Recology.
New Way and Hyzon's partnership introduces a groundbreaking hydrogen fuel cell-powered refuse truck to the North American market, demonstrating a commitment to sustainability in the waste and recycling industry.
The vehicle's innovative design incorporates Hyzon's high-performance hydrogen fuel cells, providing consistent power over 125 miles, up to 1,200 cart lifts, and trips to the transfer station, offering a sustainable and efficient refuse collection solution.
Recology's partnership with New Way and Hyzon signifies a move towards decarbonization in the waste industry, showing a commitment to sustainable transportation and fleet operations with the introduction of hydrogen-powered vehicles.
While the hydrogen fuel cell-powered refuse truck demonstrates technological advancement and environmental benefits, potential challenges may arise in terms of infrastructure development, cost implications, and scalability for widespread adoption in the waste and recycling sector.
Customer demonstrations and testing of the vehicle will be essential to evaluate its performance, reliability, and economic viability over time, with the need to address any operational or maintenance issues that may arise during real-world applications.

This debut to the US market follows February’s announcement of the Joint Development Agreement (JDA) between New Way and Hyzon, combining both companies’ expertise and industry leadership to develop a premier zero-emission refuse collection solution.
“As a growing market leader with a long history in building high-performance refuse collection equipment, New Way is in a unique position to be able to bring this sustainable, alternative power solution to waste haulers looking to meet decarbonization objectives and other clean energy requirements,” said New Way Chief Sales Officer Don Ross.
Through this partnership, Hyzon and New Way have been able to make the hydrogen fuel cell electric refuse collection vehicle a reality for the North American waste and recycling industry.

At Waste Expo, visitors to booth #1341 will see proof of the hydrogen-powered electric refuse collection vehicle concept. Hyzon’s high-performance hydrogen fuel cells are tough enough to provide consistent power over 125 miles, including up to 1,200 cart lifts and trips to the transfer station. Combine that with the strength and durability of New Way’s most-requested automated side loader – the Sidewinder XTR™ -- with smooth arm operation, up to a 12-foot reach and large 6-cubic-yard hopper for an unstoppable, sustainable refuse collection powerhouse. Another feature in the booth is a 200kw fuel cell display, along with an animation that showcases how hydrogen fuel cell technology works and a fact sheet on the New Way and Hyzon fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) and product specifications.
Both New Way and Hyzon look forward to further technology and performance development with the Class 8 FCEV as more information is gathered during customer demonstrations occurring throughout the rest of 2024. After Waste Expo, the truck will test on routes in
Recology has long shown its commitment to sustainable transportation — the company recently achieved its goal to power its fleet with more than 90 percent renewable or alternative fuels — and now sees the demo of this first-of-its-kind hydrogen-powered truck as an opportunity to be on the forefront of helping decarbonize the industry.
“As a leader in fleet sustainability, we're proud to partner with New Way and Hyzon to bring the first hydrogen fuel cell electric collection vehicle to test in our communities in California,” said Recology CEO Sal Coniglio. “Recology has been preparing to transition our fleet to zero emission vehicles for nearly six years, and we've yet to see a hydrogen fuel cell powered refuse truck on the market during that time. This development is a major milestone, and we're thrilled to be the first to demo this technology to help move our business and the industry forward.”
