The zero-emission vehicle manufacturer today (Oct 26) announced the news as part of a collaboration with bus and coach chassis builder BLK Auto.

Now operating on the roads of Brisbane, the vehicle has 50 seats and a 430-mile range.

On the news Craig Knight, CEO of Hyzon, said, “Zero-emission, hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles provide the operational capabilities of diesel vehicles – long range, significant power – with the environmental benefits of a battery electric vehicle.

“We applaud the various governments in Australia for recognising this and facilitating the adoption of hydrogen as evidenced by various funding packages and incentive programmes.”

Hyzon has said its latest move demonstrates its increasing investment in Australia, as it plans to localise production of its key platforms in the country from 2022.

Jason Pecotic, Managing Director at BLK Auto, said, “The coach has attracted significant interest since it has arrived at our facility, with local bus operators, representatives from various government departments, mining companies and tourism operators coming to see the coach in action and learn more about how these zero-emission, hydrogen fuel cell-powered coached can be adopted in their respective industries.”
