• Pure Hydrogen secures order from Heidelberg Materials Australia for HFC concrete agitator truck
  • Newly developed vehicle has advanced safety mechanisms and will be delivered in Q4 2025
  • Shows how PH2 is reshaping the heavy-duty transport sector

 

Special Report: Pure Hydrogen’s business model has been validated again with the receipt of a purchase order from Heidelberg Materials Australia for the provision of a hydrogen fuel cell-powered concrete agitator truck.

The newly developed T30-200 30t HFC agitator truck from the company’s subsidiary Hdrive International is the first of its kind in Australia and one of the first in the world.

It features an 8×4 axle configuration that provides enhanced stability and optimal load distribution, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications, and features a range of over 200km and a top speed of 100km/h.

The truck is also equipped with a 58kWh traction battery from CATL to provide reliable power and endurance along with a 200kW HFC, which both contribute to lower emissions, reduced operating costs and improved efficiency.

Pure Hydrogen (ASX:PH2) adds the vehicle’s hydrogen supply system incorporates a series of advanced safety mechanisms, including high-temperature and overflow protection, low-pressure alarm, and leakage detection and control.

This ensures a stable and secure gas supply, reinforcing the safety and reliability of the vehicle’s operation.

Delivery of the HFC truck is expected in Q4 2025.

Heidelberg – originally Hanson Australia – was established in 1949 and is a leader in Australia’s building and construction industry.

“Receiving this order from Heidelberg Materials Australia marks another step forward in Pure Hydrogen’s growth and highlights our commitment to advancing sustainable transport solutions,” PH2 managing director Scott Brown said.

“This collaboration reflects Heidelberg Materials’ dedication to integrating innovative, zero-emission technology into their operations as part of their broader sustainability strategy.

“The T30-200 hydrogen fuel cell truck is a powerful example of how we are reshaping the heavy-duty transport sector, offering a future-proof solution that combines advanced technology, environmental responsibility, and operational efficiency.

“We look forward to delivering this groundbreaking vehicle and continuing to expand our footprint.”

 

Increasing orders

The order from Heidelberg adds to a separate deal with TOLL Transport for two HFC prime movers. It validates the company’s belief there is strong market confidence in its products and that it is on the cusp of securing additional orders.

Heidelberg’s order also reinforces its growing portfolio of zero-emission commercial vehicles and PH2’s commitment to reshaping the future of transport.

While HFC truck competitors such as Hyzon and Nikola have since fallen by the wayside, the company’s disciplined business model that focuses on resilience, practicality and strategic execution continues to pay dividends.

PH2 recently delivered Australia’s first HFC-powered rear-loading waste-collection truck to Solo Resource Recovery.

This could lead to further orders given the strong interest shown by local councils.
