Who We Are
Hyzon Motors is a leading designer and manufacturer of hydrogen fuel cells for heavy duty applications. A hydrogen fuel cell (FC) provides zero-emission power by converting hydrogen into clean electricity. Today, Hyzon is focused on deploying this technology into heavy-duty commercial trucks, which are in desperate need of clean power solutions that can support their use cycles. For nearly two decades, our fuel cell technology has been developed, tested, and implemented, and now Hyzon is putting this proprietary technology to work on roads in the US, Europe, and Australia. Hyzon’s proprietary fuel cell technologies, in-house fuel cell manufacturing, and asset-light business model position Hyzon as a leader in this market. Located west of Chicago in Bolingbrook, Illinois, Hyzon’s global footprint includes offices in North America, Europe, Australia, and China. We offer robust benefits including 100% employer health insurance premiums for the employee and their family.
