    Successful Handover of Australia’s First HFC Rear Loader to
    Solo Resource Recovery
    ➢ Australia’s first hydrogen fuel cell rear loader garbage truck delivered to Solo Resource Recovery,
    marking a significant milestone in the clean energy transition
    ➢ The Solo Resource Recovery Open Day attracted significant interest from councils across
    Victoria, showcasing growing demand for hydrogen-powered waste collection solutions
    ➢ Receipt of ADR (Australian Design Rules) approval, allowing for any vehicle of this type to now
    be registered in Australia
    ➢ The truck will commence operations initially with the City of West Torrens Council in Adelaide,
    South Australia, following its launch in Victoria.
    ➢ The handover is a key achievement in Pure Hydrogen’s ongoing vehicle rollout strategy to
    promote sustainable waste management and reduce carbon emissions.
    Sydney, 6 February 2025: Australian clean energy company Pure Hydrogen Corporation Ltd (ASX: PH2) (“Pure
    Hydrogen” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce the successful handover of Australia’s first hydrogen fuel
    cell (HFC) rear loader to Solo Resource Recovery (“Solo”), a leading Australian waste management company.
    The vehicle handover took place this week during the highly successful Solo Resource Recovery Open Day, held
    in Clayton South, Victoria. The event featured a live demonstration of the truck’s impressive performance and
    its potential to significantly reduce emissions in the waste collection industry. The event was attended by
    numerous key representatives from local councils in Victoria, who showed strong interest in adopting hydrogen
    powered vehicles for waste management operations.
    The truck will be deployed in Adelaide, South Australia, with operations scheduled to begin with the City of
    West Torrens Council. The Council is a client of Solo Resource Recovery, which provides waste and resource
    recovery services to councils, businesses and industries in New South Wales, South Australia, Queensland,
    Victoria and Western Australia. The delivery of the HFC truck supports the City of West Torrens' stated goal of
    leading the way in sustainable energy alternatives for municipal services, including waste management.
    The HFC waste collection truck launch marks a significant step forward in Pure Hydrogen’s ongoing vehicle
    rollout strategy, aimed at promoting the adoption of clean hydrogen-powered vehicles and capitalising on a
    first-mover advantage in this fast-growing sector. The Company confirms that it has received Australia Design
    Rule (ADR) approval for this type of truck, meaning it does not need to repeat the approval process for the same
    model of HFC waste collection trucks and can automatically register new vehicles of this type. The delivery of
    the waste collection truck follows comprehensive testing, in line with the sale agreement between Pure
    Hydrogen and Solo in April 2024 (refer ASX Announcement 22 April 2024).
    Pure Hydrogen’s Managing Director, Mr Scott Brown, commented: “The delivery of the hydrogen fuel cell
    waste collection truck is another important step in our continued efforts to expand the adoption of zero emission
    vehicles within Australia’s heavy transport industry. The sale agreement with Solo follows an extensive period
    of collaboration, and we are proud to support the City of West Torrens in its commitment to sustainable energy
    solutions for waste management.”

    “The strong interest shown by local councils at the event underscores the growing demand for sustainable
    energy options, particularly in the waste management sector. Beyond zero CO2 emissions, hydrogen vehicles
    offer significant advantages, such as their quieter operation, which reduces noise disruption for communities.
    The company continues to make substantial progress in the development and deployment of zero-emission
    vehicles as part of its broader strategy to support the transition to clean energy. We are pleased to see this
    truck begin operations in South Australia and look forward to expanding the adoption of these vehicles
    nationwide.”
