History
[edit]Hyzon Motors was founded in 2020 as a spin-off of Singapore-based Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies, which was founded in 2003 with a focus on developing fuel-cell-powered trucks and buses.[5]
In 2021, Hyzon Motors went public with a SPAC merger with Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation.[6]
In June 2022, Hyzon received its zero-emission certification from the California Air Resources Board for its Class 8, 7, and 6 Repowers. That same month Hyzon announced a collaboration with oil field services company Schlumberger Limited, aiming to reduce emissions in upstream oil and gas operations through the use of high-power fuel cells.[7]
Parker Meeks was appointed President and interim CEO in August 2022, and CEO in March 2023.[8]
In November 2023, Hyzon completed its first commercial journey to Texas with its liquid hydrogen truck.[9] In June 2023, Hyzon partnered with Performance Food Group to deliver 5 fuel-cell electric vehicles fitted with Hyzon Class 8 110kW fuel cell systems. Additional vehicles will be fitted with Hyzon’s next-generation single 200kW fuel cell system.[10]
