We had a great time at Truck Show X!

Gareth was up on stage as part of the BORN H2 RUN session, sharing insights on where hydrogen is heading and what it means for real-world fleet deployment.

Bringing together leaders from across the hydrogen space, the session focused on the latest developments in hydrogen fuel cell trucks, and hydrogen technology, including local deployments in major Australian fleets. It’s an exciting time, and conversations like this are helping move the industry forward.

Proud to be part of the line-up alongside others driving change in this space and even prouder to be contributing to the future of low-emissions heavy transport.

Thanks to Heavy Vehicle Industry Australia and Brisbane Truck Show for an amazing event.

Introducing the latest hydrogen conversion, a new Volvo FH16 780hp prime mover ready to work for Pacific Fuel Solutions.

We will be showcasing this truck at Truck Show X next week in the Hunter Valley, for those that have registered for a drive we look forward to meeting you, and if not please come meet Gareth Wishart, Craig and Murray from the Change team to learn more.

A big thank you to our truck and installation team, Walkinshaw Group, CMV, Sign Zone, as well as Toyota Australia for its refuel before heading up from Melbourne. And of course, a special thanks to Pacific Fuel Solutions for investing in the future.

We’ve made a deliberate investment in a critical piece of
hydrogen technology. Not just in products, but in the intellectual property behind them. We now hold the UK patent for a two-stage hydrogen regulator.

This isn’t just paperwork. It represents key enabling equipment for hydrogen dual fuel technology, built on years of rethinking how heavy transport can reduce emissions without waiting on perfect solutions.

It reflects our practical approach to transition technology, focusing on what works in the real world and what can be delivered now.

Owning this IP means we can continue to shape the direction of the technology, keep improving its performance, and develop solutions that suit operators out on the road every day.

It’s a quiet milestone, but an important one.

It strengthens our position as we grow and reinforces our commitment to tackling complex challenges with practical, workable solutions.

Looking forward to Gareth Wishart guest speaking at Truck Show X in the Hunter Valley on May 18th. Gareth will be sharing how hydrogen–diesel dual fuel technology is being deployed into existing diesel fleets without compromising performance, along with real case studies of this technology in action.

HW Richardson Group is one of NZ's largest, privately owned transport and logistics group and with over 20 years’ experience across transport and innovation, Gareth has valuable insight into turning practical decarbonisation into reality.

We have been working alongside Pacific Fuel Solutions to bring their first hydrogen dual fuel truck to life in Australia, taking what we’ve developed and proven in New Zealand and putting it to work in a new market. Our hydrogen dual-fuel system is designed to deliver measurable results allowing diesel to be partially replaced with hydrogen, lowering emissions while keeping the performance and flexibility operators rely on every day.

Up to 50% diesel displacement, refuelling in around 7–10 minutes, and no range concerns, it’s a practical solution designed for real operations.

Moves like this matter. They build momentum and show what’s possible right now. We’re looking forward to sharing more as the truck wraps up conversion and gets ready for its debut.

A milestone for Pacific Fuel Solutions and a practical step toward the future of fuel in Australia.

We’re proud to be working with Change Fuel Technologies
on Pacific’s first hydrogen dual-fuel truck in Australia.

This project brings together two HW Richardson Group businesses: Pacific Fuel Solutions in Australia and Change Fuel Technologies, whose hydrogen dual-fuel technology has been developed and proven through real-world operations in New Zealand.

Pacific is a fuel business, and today that means supporting customers who rely on conventional fuels every day. But the energy landscape is changing, and we’re excited to be part of what comes next.

Change Fuel Technologies has spent several years developing and operating hydrogen dual-fuel technology, with a growing number of trucks already on the road in New Zealand. Now, we’re bringing that experience into our Australian operations.

The system allows an existing diesel truck to operate using a combination of diesel and hydrogen, helping reduce emissions while maintaining the operational flexibility heavy transport depends on.

For us, this is about learning by doing, taking practical steps today so we can keep supporting customers as future fuels become part of the transport landscape.

More to come next week as the truck completes conversion and undertakes its first hydrogen fuelling.

We’re pleased to be joining the Hydrogen Transport Forum a collaborative network bringing together leading vehicle manufacturers and partners from across the energy, infrastructure and industrial sectors.

Being part of this forum allows us to connect with like‑minded organisations, working to accelerate the role of hydrogen in transport. By collaborating with others who are equally committed to innovation and decarbonisation, we can drive greater impact and help shape the future of low‑emissions.

Our newest conversion, a SouthRoads grader. Over the past year, we have worked to fit hydrogen dual‑fuel technology to a grader, taking hydrogen beyond trucks and into heavy construction equipment.

Rather than adapting truck‑based solutions, we developed custom tank and frame concepts specifically designed for graders and other off‑road equipment such as tractors, recognising the distinct demands these machines operate under.

Delivered as a step‑by‑step development, the project has resulted in a completed and installed unit. While further refinement may lie ahead, it already provides a strong example of how hydrogen can move into real‑world heavy applications beyond line‑haul trucking.

We are bringing our Hydrogen journey across the ditch! We will be at the TruckShowX in Hunter Valley, May 18-20, showcasing our innovative diesel–hydrogen dual fuel system. We will have a Volvo FH16 780 on display with test drive opportunities so you can get a close up at what this technology can do. This brilliant truck is currently being assembled and we can’t wait to show you when it's finished. Until then, check out some photos of our duel fuel trucks based in New Zealand.

Our duel fuel technology is designed to work with existing diesel engines, our solution provides a practical, real world pathway to reducing emissions, without compromising power and reliability. It’s all about enabling change today, while the industry transitions toward tomorrow.

Seeing this technology on display highlights the momentum building across heavy transport and the commitment of operators who are choosing to lead from the front.
This is what progress looks like.

Read more here and don’t forget to follow us to see the Volvo FH16 780 reveal.
