Hyzon Unveils 200kW Prime Mover at Kangan Institute in Melbourne
Hyzon, a global leader in hydrogen fuel cell technology, recently introduced the 200kW Prime Mover at the Kangan Institute’s Automotive Centre of Excellence. The Prime Mover, designed to meet the operational needs of heavy-duty commercial transport, showcases Hyzon’s commitment to innovation and sustainability.
The 200kW Prime Mover features Hyzon’s cutting-edge fuel cell technology integrated into a cabover vehicle, a popular design among fleets in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. CEO Parker Meeks highlighted the zero-emission capabilities of the Prime Mover, emphasizing its potential to revolutionize various industrial ecosystems beyond trucking.
Manufactured at Hyzon’s production facility in Bolingbrook, Illinois, the single stack 200kW fuel cell system is expected to start production in the second half of 2024. This system offers a powerful, lightweight, and cost-effective solution compared to traditional fuel cell systems, making it an attractive option for fleet operators.
The 200kW Prime Mover, designed and assembled locally in Melbourne, is a testament to Hyzon’s commitment to leveraging local talent and resources. Not only does this support the Australian workforce, but it also addresses the unique challenges of heavy-duty transport in the region, such as heavier payloads and longer distances.
Speaking at the event, Hyzon’s CTO Dr. Christian Mohrdieck highlighted the advanced engineering behind the fuel cell system, emphasizing its performance and durability for commercial trucking applications. The collaboration between Hyzon and Kangan Institute aims to accelerate the deployment of heavy-duty fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) in Australia, driving sustainable innovation in transportation.
With plans to deploy the 200kW Prime Movers on roads in Australia and New Zealand later in 2024, Hyzon is at the forefront of decarbonizing demanding industries through hydrogen fuel cell technology.
