ROCHESTER, N.Y., April 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyzon Motors Inc.
(NASDAQ: HYZN) today announced it will supply its fuel cell
electric trucks to Hylane GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of DEVK
Versicherung, one of Germany's
largest motor insurers. Hylane has purchased 18 Hyzon vehicles,
with deliveries expected to begin in late 2022.
Under Hylane's sustainable mobility model, fleet owners can
deploy Hyzon vehicles in their operations through a rental
agreement with Hylane. Further, it is expected that customers will
only pay for the miles actually driven; Hylane plans to cover
maintenance or downtime costs. Through this pay-per-use approach,
Hylane expects to minimize the risk for customers while
accelerating the rate at which zero-emission vehicles replace
diesel.
Hylane has already confirmed rental contracts for the first
vehicles and is in talks with numerous prominent transport
companies interested in transitioning their fleets to zero-emission
options. Germany is expected to be
one of the major global markets for zero emission commercial
vehicle technologies in the coming years. The engine room of EU
economic activity, Germany
recently announced support for a total ban on sales of combustion
engine cars from 2035, and there are already significant domestic
incentives in place to transition heavy vehicles off diesel.
To support its exclusive focus on climate-friendly transport
solutions, Hylane is aligning key elements within the value chain,
including energy producers, refuelling infrastructure providers,
and government subsidy programs. Through the coordinated management
of these resources, Hylane aims to provide sustainable and flexible
mobility management to its customers.
"Hyzon's singular mission is to decarbonize transport through
zero-emission, hydrogen-powered vehicles," said Craig Knight, Hyzon CEO and co-founder. "Through
Hylane's sustainable mobility program, customers across
Germany can experience first-hand
the vehicle performance, driver satisfaction, and emissions
reductions of Hyzon's fuel cell electric trucks."
"Hyzon recognizes that, as with any new technology, customers
need the chance to utilize our fuel cell electric vehicle in their
regular operations. From past experience, we are confident that
once fleet owners have experienced our vehicles, they will be
motivated to hasten their transition to zero-emissions. Having a
strong partner in the German market has the opportunity to fuel
significant long-term growth for Hyzon."
