I believe these are prototype deliveries made in July - Hyzon

I translated text below:

Today was an important thing in the history of Hyzon Motors. Three trucks were revealed in Oldebroek. Two for Millenaar * from Schaik and one for Jan Bakker. For the time being, they are still test cars, with which these companies will gain experience in practice.

No series of production yet
Hyzon was in the news lately because the presentation of the annual figures of the company were postponed. There would also be problems with the production of the trucks in Winschoten. Hyzon works together in a joint venture with Holthausen. In the former Newexco sheds, DAF trucks are converted into hydrogen electric trucks. That does not happen yet, and there is no question of series production at the moment. When asked, nothing was announced about when that series of production should start. With the presentation of the three Hyzon Trucks in Oldebroek, the brand now seems to want to radiate confidence.
Hydrogen Electric
The trucks are converted DAF trucks that are equipped with an electric powertrain, battery packages and a fuel cell. Behind the cabin are the hydrogen tanks with which the fuel cell can make power. The trucks are all equipped with a steered towing axle and a fairly long wheelbase. This is necessary to make room for the hydrogen tanks behind the cabin. Because they work with short trailers in asphalt transport, the combinations still fit within 16.50 meters.
Sustainable future
Jan Bakker and Millenaar * Van Schaik want to position themselves as a pioneer in asphalt transport with the Hyzon Trucks. Both companies want to explore and test the possibilities first in the transition to Sustainable Transport and well before the 2030 deadline. That is a huge process, because not only the technology is new, the Tank Infrastructure is also not yet optimal. Furthermore, drivers and engineers must be trained in working with the hydrogen trucks. ,, We are preparing for a future that we are not yet ready, but the only way there is just to do it. This is only possible in collaboration with our clients in road construction, and by working together as in this case with Jan Bakker Transport. "" The same sounds can be heard at Jan Bakker. The customer, in this case Rijkswaterstaat, asks for sustainable transport and it is up to us to meet that demand. ,, We investigate everything for that.

Diesel
TNL director Jan Boeve praises the initiative of the entrepreneurs but also sees the enormous challenges. ,, When these trucks were ordered, the price of hydrogen was considerably lower than at the moment, something we also see with LNG. Yet we have to investigate all possibilities because we already provide a shortage of diesel for the coming winter. AdBlue production is also under pressure due to the high gas prices. The challenges to meet the sustainable ambitions are therefore huge, and hydrogen is one of the fuels of the future that can help us ahead. However, that only goes with commitment and cooperation as we see here.
Prototypes
Yet it is not that you will come across the Hyzon trucks on the road from tomorrow. It is still about prototypes that will be tested in practice. After the presentation, the trucks go back on a low -loader to the first Hyzon dealer in the Netherlands, ESA in Heerenveen for the latest adjustments. Incidentally, Hyzon is on the IAA in Hanover. Later this month.
