Nikola, a developer of heavy-duty commercial battery-electric vehicles, has announced the locations for three hydrogen stations in California as it scales its long-term hydrogen distribution solutions to meet market demand.
The three stations will be located in the cities of Colton and Ontario and at the Port of Long Beach. Additional stations will be added in the future.
The Ontario location is part of Nikola’s previously announced collaboration with TravelCenters of America, a truck stop and travel center company. There are already a number of distribution centers in the city of Colton.
"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.
At the Port of Long Beach, the stations will support ocean drayage solutions for logistics providers, like TTSI.
