It was a pleasure hosting you today, Senator!
Senator Patty Murray
@PattyMurray4 Jan 2024
I visited @FirstModeHQ in Centralia to learn about their innovative work decarbonizing heavy industry by converting existing mining haul trucks into low carbon and zero-emissions vehicles. This work is so important as we all work to transition to a clean energy economy.

Opportunity to visit @FirstModeHQ in Seattle. They build hydrogen fuel cells for mining trucks. They already have 60 staff in Northbridge, Perth. Looking to expand in Oz, through Oz and beyond. Good to catch up with the Aussies on the team.

Up until now, a single mining haul truck put out the same amount of pollution as 700 cars a year. What changed? The creation of the world’s largest diesel-free engine. Thanks @adele_peters & @FastCompany for sharing our story! Read more: fastcompany.com/90837208/the…

The world’s largest zero-emissions truck is more than 2 stories tall

Up until now, one of these trucks would emit as much pollution in a year as 700 cars. A new retrofit replaces the diesel with a battery and hydrogen fuel cells.

The cat is out of the bag! At an Early Learner Summit in Tucson execs from miners inc @RioTinto & @TeckResources saw the 1st @CaterpillarInc prototype #zeroemissions #batterytruck, the 793 Electric, a historic reveal at the start of mining's transformation bit.ly/3V9pPOk
An exciting announcement from @FirstModeHQ and @TransAlta as they work together to build a greener economy. Battery-hydrogen power makes a @komatsuconstrna monster truck that much bossier. 💪
