Nikola Corporation announced the opening of a new HYLA hydrogen refueling station in West Sacramento, California. The facility, located at 917 Stillwater Rd, features a high-pressure hydrogen refueler. It supports Nikola’s plan to provide hydrogen refueling solutions for Class 8 trucks in Northern California.

Refueling Capacity of the HYLA Hydrogen Refueling Station

The first phase of the West Sacramento station will fuel up to 20 Nikola hydrogen fuel cell electric Class 8 trucks daily. HYLA will provide continuous site support for efficient fueling.

A Milestone for Zero-Emission Transportation

“We are thrilled to open our first HYLA hydrogen refueling station in Northern California. West Sacramento marks a significant milestone for Nikola and offers convenient access for our fleet customers based in West Sacramento and its surrounding areas,” said President of Energy Ole Hoefelmann. “Reaching a zero-emission future just became one step closer as we continue our planned rollout to strengthen the north-south I-5 freight corridor and expand coverage areas from the Port of Oakland.”

Building a Hydrogen Supply Chain

HYLA is working with state and local jurisdictions to build a strong hydrogen supply chain and refueling infrastructure. This expansion into West Sacramento will accelerate hydrogen fuel electric truck adoption in California.

Support from Local Leadership

California State Senator Christopher Cabaldon stated, “California’s hydrogen future first launched in West Sacramento with the global Fuel Cell Partnership, so it is exciting to welcome Nikola’s new HYLA station to the city at the core of the region and national logistics network. Hydrogen offers rapid refueling and long working range at load, which is ideal for trucking. This new hydrogen fueling station will help accelerate adoption of zero-emission trucks in California, right here in the state capital region.”

Flexible Refueling Options

The refueling station network offers Nikola hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles and other Class 8 customers flexible refueling options. This includes modular and permanent HYLA stations, customer-owned facilities, and public truck stop partnerships.
