Hyroad Energy Enhances Hydrogen Infrastructure in Southern California

Hyroad Energy, a pioneer in the hydrogen fuel sector, has recently inaugurated a state-of-the-art hydrogen refueling station in Santa Fe Springs, California. This new facility plays a crucial role in supporting regional trucking fleets that are transitioning to hydrogen-fueled vehicles.

The deployment of this innovative station was made possible through a strategic partnership with Taylor-Wharton, a subsidiary of Air Water America. The station features a mobile liquid hydrogen refueling unit that consists of a 1,000-kilogram capacity tank, dispensing apparatus, and safety mechanisms, all contained within a seamless mobile package. This design not only facilitates efficient refueling but also allows for quick deployment in conjunction with the establishment of permanent stations in the future.

In its inaugural week, the station gained momentum, successfully completing 45 fueling transactions underlining its operational efficiency, with fueling times consistently clocking in at under 25 minutes—a competitive time comparable to traditional diesel refilling.

Mike Archibald, the Head of Hydrogen Infrastructure at Hyroad Energy, emphasized the significance of this development, stating, "Today's announcement isn't just about keeping one fleet moving; it represents the robust capabilities of hydrogen trucking infrastructure that can be rapidly established, operate reliably, and expand in response to demand. Each station we introduce—whether mobile or permanent—serves as a testament to the solvable nature of the fueling challenges in the hydrogen transportation sector, thereby instilling confidence in fleets, OEMs, and our partners."

The new facility marks an important milestone in Hyroad's ambition to create a comprehensive refueling network across California and Texas. According to the company’s vision, mobile refueling solutions provide an agile method to meet immediate fuel needs while awaiting the rollout of permanent, heavy-duty refueling stations. This is essential for supporting the growing fleet deployments that aim to embrace cleaner transport options.

Additionally, all vehicle maintenance and servicing for Hyroad's fleet, along with support for other Nikola owners, is handled at the company's Fontana, California facility, which boasts a sizable 30,000-square-foot warehouse and an exclusive inventory of Nikola parts.
