Another miner eases out of diesel, opts for hydrogen and fuel cell

[Jay McKinsey + 1,489]

The Australian iron ore miner is adding 10 full-sized hydrogen coaches, custom built by HYZON Motors, to replace the existing fleet of diesel coaches at Christmas Creek from mid-2021.

The company said the busses will be supported by the installation of a refuelling station, which will harness renewable electricity from the Chichester Solar Gas Hybrid Project, to generate renewable hydrogen onsite.

Perhaps just semantics, but how do you ADD ten coaches to REPLACE an existing fleet?
