City of Antwerp welcomes first hydrogen-powered municipal waste collection vehicle
The city of Antwerp welcomes two new hydrogen-powered municipal waste collection vehicles. Equipped with an electric motor with batteries and a fuel cell, these new trucks collect household waste in the city without emitting CO2. This initiative is a first for Flanders and comes with the support of the European REVIVE project and the Clean Hydrogen Partnership. A first vehicle was tested extensively over the past month, and the second vehicle is now also being commissioned. The vehicles were introduced today at the DATS 24 hydrogen refuelling station in Wilrijk, Antwerp.
