Global clean energy requires unprecedented mineral extraction. Without innovation, such efforts will increase mine haulage’s carbon emissions...

It was a pleasure hosting you today, Senator!

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

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.

[Rhae Adams @rhaebies]

Thanks for dropping by, Ambassador! Enjoyed the conversation about our teams in Oz, US, and beyond!

[Former Ambassador Kevin Rudd AC @AmboRudd]

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.

A pleasure to join @MayorofSeattle at the signing of the Maritime and Industrial Strategy today. Legislation that protects industrial zones in the city are critical to clean technology design and manufacturing businesses like @FirstModeHQ .

Congrats to the @FirstModeHQ on getting us through the hurdles of design/permitting and into construction! Can’t wait to cut the ribbon this fall ✂️

World's first zero-emission haul truck successfully completes year of trials, proving its viability as a diesel alternative. Designed & built by First Mode for @AngloAmerican, this is a critical step for reducing heavy industry's reliance on fossil fuels.

Happy 1 Year Anniversary DT-74! Great to see the dust and dirt caked on. So proud of the @FirstModeHQ team for building a surprisingly resilient system.

More importantly, can't wait to show off what's next: the commercial version of nuGen -- stay tuned!

Thank you for your years of public service @GovInslee! Your support of climate initiatives in Washington have been deeply appreciated and brought tangible impact to our business and countless others.

No signs of slowing down over the next 18 months!

[Governor Bob Ferguson @GovBobFerguson]

Today I announced I will not be running for a fourth term. We've made Washington a beacon for progress, and now it's time to pass the torch.

Congratulations to a good friend, @KaiKloepfer, and the entire team @BiofireUSA on the launch of their Smart Gun. Building biometric safety features into handguns is a no brainer — every tool helps reduce unwanted gun violence. #unlockbiofire

As a proud board member of the @PNWH2Assoc, First Mode is thrilled to see a PNWH2 Hub submission to the DOE that envisions a dynamic Pacific Northwest network of clean, renewable hydrogen to decarbonize some of the hardest-to-abate sectors.

@joe_landon @LockheedMartin Congratulations, Joe! Wishing you and the team all the best!

First Mode’s fifth anniversary was also our inaugural Community Day! Across First Mode locations, folks spent the day working with local non-profits to help address their community’s needs:

[Rhae Adams @rhaebies]

A big thank you to our team, our customers, and our friends and family for supporting 5 years of @FirstModeHQ!!

Cheers to even bigger things ahead 🌎💚

[First Mode @FirstModeHQ]

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!

A warm welcome to all our @FirstModeHQ UK team members🇬🇧!

We're excited to build our European footprint, continue to grow our US and Australian one, and even add Chile and South Africa later this year.

[Built In Seattle @BuiltInSeattle]

In a new agreement, First Mode teamed up with @AngloAmerican to build a zero-emission haul truck solution that aims to make heavy industries more eco-friendly. The transaction came alongside a hefty funding round that'll fuel #hiring and other growth. https://t.co/gk2kJYZPv1

[Alan Boyle 👽 @b0yle]

.@AngloAmerican follows through on its #nuGen business combination deal with @FirstModeHQ, providing $200 million in funding for zero-emission mining: https://t.co/njtXLMUzwn

[Rhae Adams @rhaebies]

Climate change is the challenge of our time. With $200M in new funding, @FirstModeHQ is scaling our $1.5B global decarbonization business across ultra-heavy industry to make an outsized impact. Join us.
