The new station builds on the company’s planned station network to advance and scale its long-term hydrogen distribution solutions to service market demand. Nikola's integrated energy and zero-emissions truck portfolio will be underpinned by developing hydrogen supply and refuelling infrastructure, an essential step in helping to decarbonise the heavy-duty transport sector.
The West Sacramento station will further support Nikola’s trucks, as well as third-party heavy-duty hydrogen electric vehicles. By the end of 2026, it is anticipated that Nikola, via its Hyla brand, will have 60 stations in place to support this growth. The Hyla hydrogen refuelling stations, along with a comprehensive energy supply, will provide the company's customers the support needed to seamlessly transition their fleets to zero-emissions.
California is a launch market for Nikola with the Class 8 Nikola Tre battery-electric vehicle, Nikola Tre hydrogen electric vehicle and the energy infrastructure underway to support key customers and advance the state's efforts to decarbonize the transport sector.
"The first four stations in California are intended as part of Nikola's energy strategy to support hydrogen electric truck demand," said Nikola’s Carey Mendes.
"Our recently announced hydrogen energy brand, Hyla, is dedicated to solving the complex challenges that the mobility and hydrogen industry have faced for decades by offering integrated mobility solutions, including the trucks and energy supply. The Hyla hydrogen refuelling stations, along with a comprehensive energy supply, will provide our customers the support needed to seamlessly transition their fleets to zero-emissions."
