Hyzon Motors announces first truck in operations with DB Schenker.
Hyzon Motors Inc. (NASDAQ: HYZN), a global supplier of zero-emission heavy-duty fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), announced DB Schenker has deployed a Hyzon fuel cell electric truck in operations in Germany. DB Schenker, one of the world’s leading logistics service providers, is using the truck in daily operation between Cologne (Germany) and Eupen (Belgium).
This is the first fuel cell electric vehicle in the heavy-duty weight class to be used in commercial operations in Germany.
DB Schenker is using the Hyzon truck in a pay-per-use model offered by hylane, a rental company specializing in CO2-neutral commercial vehicles. As wholly-owned subsidiary of DEVK, one of Germany’s largest motor insurers, hylane specializes in providing comprehensive hydrogen solutions for the logistics sector, minimizing the risk for customers and accelerating the rate at which zero-emission vehicles replace diesel.
