ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Hyzon Motors Inc. (NASDAQ: HYZN), today announced that Shawn Yadon has been appointed President, Commerical, effective July 1, 2022. Mr. Yadon will be responsible for commercialization of the North American market while supporting Hyzon’s strategic position of the production and sales of our hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.

“I look forward to leading Hyzon Motors’ commercial activities and advocating at all levels alongside the trucking industry for the governmental support, commitment, and investments necessary for Hyzon to optimize the deployment and delivery of cutting edge zero emission commercial vehicles in addition to essential hydrogen infrastructure requirements,” said Mr. Yadon.

“As the momentum in North America continues to accelerate for zero emission commercial vehicles, we are excited to deepen our talent pool with the addition of Shawn.
