HYZN plans to increase truck production
HYZN announced on 13th October that its European facility in Winschoten, The Netherlands, is expected to increase the production capacity to about 1000 trucks per annum during the fiscal year 2022. The increase in production would be brought about via the addition of a second shift and updates in operational setups. The Winschoten facility opened in March this year. It has the capacity of producing up to 500 trucks per annum currently. According to the company’s estimates, the facility could produce 825 hydrogen-powered fuel cell electric vehicles per annum. The anticipated changes in the facility would make it the European hub for the vehicle assembly and development of new and modern vehicular technology. Hyzon CEO Craig Knight commented that the momentum around hydrogen is continually seeing variations in the European region, and so the new facility would allow the company to respond to the growing demand.

What’s next for HYZN?
Statistics reveal that during the last quarter, HYZN stock declined more than 38%. The primary reason for the decline appears to be the ongoing investigations and lawsuits against Hyzon against alleged breach of federal securities law. However, on the development and innovation front, the company is keen to leave a mark. So, a potential investor should keep a close eye on HYZN.
