Hyroad Energy Partners with Pacific Clean Fuels to Boost Hydrogen Trucking in California

In a groundbreaking move towards sustainable transportation, Hyroad Energy has announced a strategic alliance with Pacific Clean Fuels and OneH2. This partnership is set to revolutionize hydrogen-powered trucking operations, specifically in California, where zero-emission freight transportation is becoming increasingly vital.

Located in Long Beach, California, the collaborative effort aims to facilitate one of the largest deployments of hydrogen-powered trucks in the state, marking a significant step forward in the transition to cleaner logistics solutions. Scheduled to start commercial operations in January 2026, this endeavor promises to propel forward the state’s ambitious environmental objectives while ensuring efficient freight movement along the busiest logistics routes, including between the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles.

Hyroad Energy, renowned for its innovative hydrogen-powered transportation solutions, plans to deploy its recently acquired fleet of 113 Nikola hydrogen fuel-cell trucks. These trucks will play a crucial role in serving essential freight routes across California. As part of this initiative, OneH2 is working closely with Pacific Clean Fuels to construct a dedicated hydrogen refueling station in Long Beach. This station will exclusively supply hydrogen fuel to Hyroad trucks, thus ensuring an efficient and reliable fueling process within the growing network of hydrogen stations.

Dmitry Serov, CEO and Founder of Hyroad Energy, emphasized the importance of strategic partnerships in fostering a sustainable hydrogen trucking ecosystem. “Building a sustainable hydrogen trucking ecosystem means aligning every part of the value chain,” he stated. His vision and commitment to scaling hydrogen freight operations are mirrored by both Pacific Clean Fuels and OneH2, as they work to create real infrastructure capable of supporting commercial hydrogen operations.

This collaborative effort encapsulates the intersection of technology, sustainability, and business strategy. To facilitate hydrogen trucking's expansion, deep synchronization is required among all participants—truck manufacturers, fuel providers, and maintenance services. Hyroad's service model integrates truck-as-a-service operations with the robust energy infrastructure from Pacific Clean Fuels and OneH2's heavy-duty fueling systems, establishing a commercial-scale performance background for the hydrogen network.

Gabriel Olson, Director of Alternative Energy and Infrastructure at Pacific Clean Fuels, shared that their operations represent readiness for hydrogen infrastructure at a commercial level. “Backed by OneH2 and Papé's strategic investment and operational expertise, our 24/7 station demonstrates that the future of hydrogen as a transportation fuel is here,” he explained, reinforcing the initiative's potential in helping fleets achieve both financial and emission targets.

Hyroad Energy is not solely focused on trucking operations but has expanded its services to include maintenance, software, and parts support. This holistic approach allows fleet operators to partner with a single provider throughout their hydrogen transition journey, greatly simplifying the adoption of cleaner vehicles. Hyroad Energy is committed to removing barriers to hydrogen accessibility and aims to provide fleets with the necessary tools for smooth operational transitions by offering excellent vehicle access, well-planned infrastructure, and essential operational support.

As the partnership gears up to redefine freight logistics in California, the collaborative efforts by Hyroad Energy, Pacific Clean Fuels, and OneH2 signify a leap towards a cleaner, more sustainable transportation industry. This initiatory step marks what could be a version of the future of trucking—one which prioritizes environmental sustainability while meeting economic demands.
