Nikola announces locations of three more hydrogen dispensing stations

The three California refuelling stations and logistics infrastructure will be located in the cities of Colton, Ontario and a location servicing the Port of Long Beach, US. To further support truck demand, plans for additional stations are in progress and will be announced in the near future.

California is a launch market for Nikola and these stations will support key customers and advance the state’s efforts to decarbonise the transport sector.

“This marks an important step in Nikola’s ability to deliver innovative solutions and the infrastructure needed to decarbonise the transportation industry,” says President, Nikola Energy Pablo Koziner. “Our hydrogen refuelling stations, along with a comprehensive energy supply, will provide customers the support needed to transition their fleets to zero-emissions.”

The Ontario location is part of Nikola’s previously-announced collaboration with TravelCenters of America.

"TA is committed to providing viable infrastructure to support the nation’s shift toward alternative fuels, and this collaboration with Nikola reflects our ongoing commitment to this goal,” said Jon Pertchik, CEO of TravelCenters of America. “The success of the transportation industry’s transition toward alternative fuel adoption is dependent, in part, on collaborations like this.”

There are a number of distribution centers in the city of Colton, making it an ideal location for future Nikola FCEV customers.

"The establishment of a 'clean fuel' facility for heavy-duty commercial vehicles, such as semi-trucks, is a huge step forward in seeing the trucking industry move towards these types of vehicles. Actions like these are building blocks to cleaner air for Colton residents and the surrounding region and we are proud to support initiatives that align with our vision," said Mario Suarez, Planning Manager, City of Colton, California.

The ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles are major global commercial transportation hubs and are focused on leading decarbonisation. Our station servicing port customers will be a critical anchor of our hydrogen dispensing infrastructure.

"The Nikola hydrogen refuelling stations represent an important step forward to enable zero-emissions logistics solutions in Southern California. The Port of Long Beach station is an ideal location to support ocean drayage solutions for TTSI and other logistics providers,” said Mike Bible, CEO of TTSI. “TTSI is excited about the prospects of hydrogen fuel cell technology as a viable solution to decarbonise the freight trucking industry."

Nikola is bringing comprehensive zero-emission heavy-duty trucking solutions to market. Through the combined efforts of Nikola’s truck and energy teams, the company links hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles with hydrogen production hubs and dispensing stations. These stations are an important step in the delivery of a broader array of hydrogen fuelling solutions to the heavy-duty trucking industry.
