Hyzon’s Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology Highlighted in Heavy-Duty Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle Displays

OAKLAND, Calif., Aug. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Hyzon (NASDAQ: HYZN), a U.S.-based high-performance hydrogen fuel cell system manufacturer and technology developer focused on providing zero-emission power to decarbonize the most demanding industries, along with New Way Trucks, an industry-leading refuse truck body manufacturer, and Recology, a pioneer in sustainable waste management, today showcased North America’s first hydrogen fuel cell electric refuse truck to U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Under Secretary for Infrastructure David Crane, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla. The vehicle display was part of a landmark clean energy event hosted by the Alliance for Renewable Clean Hydrogen Energy Systems (ARCHES) to celebrate the official award of a $12.6 billion investment to create a Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub in California.

“Hydrogen is the Swiss army knife of energy sources and that’s critically important,” said U.S. Department of Energy Under Secretary for Infrastructure David Crane. “The best, most durable use of hydrogen is for heavy-duty transportation. Today’s event is a thrill for all of us in the Department of Energy and for everyone in the hydrogen space.” 

“I’m proud to be here with so many great partners,” said California Gov. Gavin Newsom. “This is part of the most significant economic and industrial policy in our lifetime. It’s not just about growth, it’s about inclusion.”

“Today is an opportunity for the public to see the promise for hydrogen’s future,” said U.S Sen. Alex Padilla. “You see what’s possible not in the far future, but today. Under the leadership of ARCHES we have the opportunity to catalyze the whole hydrogen economy. From our ports to our cities, ARCHES is truly a statewide project whose benefits will deliver for everybody. Today is just the beginning and we’re excited for what’s ahead”

“Today, we see not only North America’s first hydrogen-powered refuse truck but also the critical role government plays in making these innovations a reality. When government steps up, the private sector responds, and today is proof of that,” said Hyzon Chief Executive Officer Parker Meeks. “ARCHES’ massive commitment demonstrates how public investment can drive private sector action, accelerating our ability to scale decarbonization efforts now.”

Backed by $1.2 billion in federal funding and $11.4 billion in public and private investments, ARCHES is spearheading one of the most ambitious hydrogen infrastructure projects in the U.S. Under the agreement, ARCHES plans to facilitate a network of clean, renewable hydrogen production sites, including 60 heavy-duty fueling stations and 165 miles of open-access pipelines, to enable the decarbonization of more than 5,000 fuel cell electric trucks. This includes the fuel cell electric refuse collection truck built in partnership between Hyzon and New Way, which is in its first customer trial with Recology. The three companies’ collaboration begins the decarbonization of one of the most demanding industries and makes hydrogen fuel cell electric refuse collection a reality for North America.

“This hydrogen-powered refuse collection vehicle is being designed to best meet the needs of waste haulers and kickstart the transition to clean energy by partners who are best positioned to champion advanced, alternative sustainable solutions across the waste and recycling industry,” said Mike McLaughlin, CEO of McLaughlin Family Companies, the parent company of New Way Trucks.

With about 140,000 refuse trucks currently operating across the U.S., this demonstration signals a critical shift toward zero-emission solutions in a challenging application. Hyzon’s expertise is central to the creation of the clean energy refuse truck, which integrates high-performance hydrogen fuel cell systems to power demanding urban operations, offering environmental benefits and operational efficiency.

Clean energy initiatives have a champion in Washington, D.C.-based National Waste & Recycling Association (NWRA). NWRA President and CEO Michael E. Hoffman said, “The waste industry was an earlier adopter of alternative fuels with more than 30 percent of the routed fleet converted on its own initiative without mandates or subsidies. NWRA, representing nearly three-quarters of the industry, can and will lead vocational fleets to advance emissions reductions while still meeting the daily demands of this essential service, bringing our workers home safely every day and delivering sustainable waste management solutions to our communities and customers.”

“True progress is possible when government and industry work hand in hand. Recology intends to do its part to help the waste recovery industry transition to a zero-emission future,” said Recology CEO Salvatore M. Coniglio.

Today’s demonstration also underscored ARCHES’ leading role in deploying hydrogen energy solutions to address emissions challenges in traditionally hard-to-decarbonize sectors. As one of seven hydrogen hubs across the country selected for investment by the DOE, ARCHES is projected to create 220,000 direct jobs, including 130,000 in construction and 90,000 permanent positions.

“We’re grateful to the Department of Energy for their leadership in the transition to clean hydrogen,” Meeks concluded.

Reducto Unveils a Frontier Parsing Model That Makes the World’s Hardest Documents AI-Ready for 1¢ a Page

Published

September 1, 2026

By

The new r-1 model is the first in a family of document intelligence models that reduces parsing errors by up to 20% while replacing complex, multi-tool pipelines with a single model that costs up to 6× less.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Reducto today introduced r-1, a frontier document parsing model that turns complex PDFs, scans, spreadsheets, and other files into accurate, structured data for AI systems.

Reducto has already established itself as a leader in document parsing by handling the long tail of complex files that break conventional tools. Available today in preview, r-1 extends that lead—reducing errors by up to 20%, improving latency at high volumes, and bringing the all-in cost down to 1¢ per page.

Before an AI system can reason over a document, it must first understand what is on the page. That becomes difficult when meaning is encoded not only in text, but also in tables, handwriting, reading order, formatting, checkboxes, strikethroughs, and the position of content. A parser that misreads a financial table can give an AI agent the wrong numbers. One that drops a strikethrough can reverse the meaning of a contract.

Established services such as Amazon Textract and Azure Document Intelligence helped make cloud document processing widely available. But organizations working with complex documents often still combine multiple tools, models, and layers of post-processing to achieve the accuracy they need. In Reducto’s evaluations, r-1 outperformed commonly used hyper-scaler products and large LLMs on complex documents while providing a complete parse at one all-in price.

Built from the ground up and trained on some of the most challenging document data in the world, r-1 combines layout detection, reading order, tables, formatting, grounding, and granular citations in a single model. It is designed for the long tail of documents where simpler parsers break down, including dense tables, unusual layouts, low-quality scans, handwriting, watermarked content, and files that do not follow predictable templates.

By combining these capabilities, r-1 can handle an organization’s full document workload without requiring teams to route files among providers or maintain separate pipelines for different document types. Its flat price of 1¢ per page includes the complete parse, without additional model charges or feature-based multipliers.

r-1 is the first in a broader family of Reducto parsing models designed for different points on the accuracy, latency, and cost curve. Planned additions include r-1 mini, a smaller model for speed- and cost-sensitive workloads, and automatic routing that selects the right model for each page.

Organizations using another parser can receive up to $5,000 in credits to test r-1 on their most difficult documents, along with hands-on benchmarking support, at reducto.ai/migrate. r-1 is also available today in preview through a configuration flag in the Reducto Parse API.

About Reducto

Reducto is an agentic document platform that turns complex, real-world documents into structured data for AI agents and document-intensive workflows. The company has raised more than $108 million from investors including Andreessen Horowitz and First Round Capital and has processed more than a billion pages a month. Its customers include Harvey, Scale AI, Vanta, Airtable, Toast, and Fortune 10 enterprises.
