MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO, CANADA – Sept 03,2009 – Hydrogenics Corporation, a leading developer and manufacturer of hydrogen generation and fuel cell products, today announced that it has received a contract to provide HyPM 16 fuel modules for use in zero emission class 8 short haul trucks being developed by Vision Industries Corp. (OTC.BB:VIIC) of California. Vision’s Tyrano™ truck is thought to be the world’s first plug-in electric/hydrogen fuel cell powered heavy duty class 8 vehicle. The contract calls for Hydrogenics’ HyPM fuel modules to be delivered in two stages. The initial units will be used to complete testing and demonstrate the vehicles in and around the Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach. Second stage deliveries will be dependent on purchase orders for the trucks being received by Vision.
With the Los Angeles basin heavily polluted by commercial trucking operations, the Ports have implemented a Clean Truck Program to replace older, inefficient, traditional means of transportation by the end of 2012 with clean energy alternatives.
We are pleased to have been chosen by Vision Industries to provide the fuel cells for a vehicle that may one day lead to a much cleaner environment in the Los Angeles area,” said Daryl Wilson, President and CEO. “While the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach serve as busy shipping hubs, the resulting air pollution has been an environmental problem for decades, impacting the quality of life in Southern California. With Vision’s innovative Tyrano™ trucks, significant cost savings and cleaner air could be realized in a relatively short period of time. We look forward to working with Vision and the State of California on this very worthwhile endeavor.”
