Pure Hydrogen has announced its majority-owned subsidiary, HDrive International, has sold two Taurus 70ft Hydrogen Fuel Cell (HFC) prime movers to Toll Transport.
The added investment in HFC vehicles is in line with Toll Group’s overall commitment to strategically investing in low-emission vehicle fleets and follows the announcement of the company’s $67 million investment to the purchase and rollout of 28 battery electric heavy vehicles late last year.
Toll is also committing $200 million to a wider refresh of its heavy vehicle fleet across Australia.
The Taurus is the first VTA HFC prime mover in Australia and passed Australian Design Rule standards following extensive testing and consultation with domestic regulators.
It can transport gross 70 tonnes, which is the largest clean energy truck available for Australian roads.
Pure Hydrogen has also recently revealed the delivery of a HFC waste collection truck to Australian waste management company Solo Resource Recovery which will be deployed in Adelaide’s City of West Torrens.
Managing Director of Pure Hydrogen Scott Brown praised Toll’s commitment to exploring different renewable transport methods.
“We are excited to collaborate with Toll Transport, a forward-thinking company embracing cleaner, greener transport solutions,” Brown says.
“This partnership is an additional validation of the market responding to Pure’s high-quality zero emission products.
“Orders and our sales pipeline are now accelerating as we witness strong interest from both government and corporate customers, including from Asia, Europe and North America.
“The deployment of the Taurus prime movers exemplifies our mission to deliver high-performance, reliable and sustainable transport solutions to meet the demands of modern logistics.
“Furthermore, it underlines the growing traction that Pure Hydrogen and HDrive are establishing in the market for our leading range of transport vehicles.
“We look forward to providing more updates on our vehicle sales pipeline in the months ahead, as we build momentum in our stated strategy to transition from vehicle development and testing to sales and revenue growth.”
