The vehicle is designed to meet the operational demands of heavy-duty road transport. Hyzon integrated its fuel cell technology and 200kW FCEV powertrain first into a cabover vehicle, a familiar design for fleets in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe.

The company expects to deploy 200kW cabovers in Europe and 200kW conventional vehicles in the US later this year.

Hyzon CEO Parker Meeks said: “The Hyzon 200kW Prime Mover provides our customers with a powerful, zero-emission option for their fleets, showcasing our expertise in crafting state-of-the-art FCEVs.”
