The Quebec Stevedoring Company Ltd. (QSL) has received new hydrogen-powered equipment at the Port of Montreal as green alternative to reduce emissions.
The hydrogen-powered equipment prototypes have been developed by European manufacturer Gaussin and received on 4 June.

The Montreal Port Authority has ordered the new equipment as part of its effort to introduce alternative lower-carbon fuels to replace traditional fossil fuels and accelerate the energy transition.
