Sydney-based clean energy company Pure Hydrogen Corporation has secured an order from Heidelberg Materials Australia for a hydrogen fuel cell (HFC) truck, marking a step toward decarbonising heavy-duty transport in the construction sector.
Under the agreement, Heidelberg will acquire a T30-200 30-tonne HFC agitator truck from Pure Hydrogen, with delivery scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2025.
Designed for concrete delivery operations, the truck boasts a range of over 200 kilometers and a top speed of 100 km/h, Pure Hydrogen said in an ASX announcement.
The vehicle, developed by HDrive International, features an 8×4 axle configuration for stability and optimal load distribution.
Equipped with a 58kWh traction battery from CATL and a 200kW hydrogen fuel cell from Ballard, the T30-200 aims to provide a sustainable alternative to traditional diesel-powered trucks.
Its advanced hydrogen supply system includes safety mechanisms such as high-temperature and overflow protection, low-pressure alarms, and leakage detection and control.
Pure Hydrogen’s Managing Director, Scott Brown, said the agreement with Heidelberg reflects a shared commitment to sustainable transport solutions.
“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.”
“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.”
Heidelberg Materials Australia, a leading building and construction materials provider, said the acquisition aligns with its long-term sustainability strategy.
Chief Executive Phil Schacht highlighted the company’s focus on emissions reduction. “Heidelberg Materials’ Sustainability Commitments 2030 form the basis of our sustainability initiatives, including a focus on CO2 emission reductions.”
“This trial of hydrogen-fuelled agitator trucks has the potential to reduce our transport-related emissions and provide valuable insights into the feasibility of integrating such technology into our fleet management.”
