Rochester, NY and Groningen, Netherlands— Hyzon Motors Inc.

This comes ahead of Hyzon’s public listing via a definitive business combination agreement with Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation (NASDAQ: DCRB, DCRBW).

Hyzon expects to deliver up to three vehicles in Q4 of 2021 and to deliver the remaining trucks in 2022.

These contracts further underline the interest in Hyzon’s products in the European market, where we have seen strong uptake in zero-emission heavy vehicles.”
