English Español Nikola expands hydrogen reach with three new stations in California

The company has identified different opportunities to extend its services to the cities of Colton, Ontario and the Port of Long Beach.



Last update:

Nikola Corporation has announced the locations of three California hydrogen stations to advance and scale up its long-term distribution solutions. The new sites and logistics infrastructure will be located in the cities of Colton, Ontario and a location servicing the Port of Long Beach.

California is a launch market for Nikola and these stations will support key customers and advance the state’s efforts to decarbonize the transport sector. While the Ontario location is part of the firm’s previously announced collaboration with TravelCenters of America, Colton’s high number of distribution centres make it an ideal location for its future customers. 

Regarding the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, these are major global commercial transportation hubs and are focused on leading decarbonization, a critical anchor of its hydrogen dispensing infrastructure.

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

The company’s integrated energy and zero-emissions truck portfolio will be underpinned by developing hydrogen supply and refuelling infrastructure, an essential step in helping to decarbonize the heavy-duty transport sector. These stations are an important advancement in the delivery of a broader array of hydrogen fueling solutions to the heavy-duty trucking industry.

"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. The success of the transportation industry’s transition toward alternative fuel adoption is dependent, in part, on collaborations like this,” added Jon Pertchik, Chief Executive Officer of TravelCenters of America.
