In an exciting milestone for clean transport, Pure Hydrogen Corporation has confirmed a purchase order from TOLL Transport for two hydrogen-powered Taurus 70t prime movers. While the vehicles are still in the pipeline, this order marks a significant step forward for hydrogen technology in Australia, with delivery expected in late 2025.
Hydrogen-Powered Innovation
The Taurus 70t hydrogen fuel cell (HFC) trucks will be the first of their kind to hit Australian roads. Having already met stringent Vehicle Type Approval and Australian Design Rule (ADR) standards, these prime movers are poised to transform heavy transport operations. Capable of hauling 70 tonnes, they represent a powerful zero-emission alternative for the logistics industry.
A Commitment to Cleaner Fleets
TOLL Transport’s investment in these hydrogen trucks highlights the growing demand for sustainable fleet solutions. This move aligns with their broader strategy to reduce emissions and adopt low-carbon technologies. While the vehicles are not expected to be road-ready until late 2025, this purchase order signals confidence in Pure Hydrogen’s ability to deliver next-generation clean energy vehicles.
Driving Toward Net Zero
Pure Hydrogen Managing Director Scott Brown emphasised the importance of this order as validation of the company’s market-leading technology: “The Taurus trucks exemplify our commitment to providing high-performance, reliable, and sustainable transport solutions that align with Australia’s carbon reduction goals.”
Looking Ahead
This announcement comes as part of a growing trend in clean transport solutions. Alongside TOLL’s future plans to add Volvo electric trucks to its fleet in early 2025, the logistics sector is accelerating its transition to low-emission technologies. With hydrogen and electric vehicles leading the charge, fleet managers have more options than ever to embrace sustainability and meet evolving environmental targets.
Stay tuned for further updates as Pure Hydrogen’s Taurus trucks take shape and prepare to revolutionise Australian transport by the end of 2025.
