Nikola Corporation and Tom's Truck Center have announced a new HYLA refueling solution to support volume ramp-up of Nikola's Class 8 hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks at Tom's location in Santa Fe Springs, Calif. 

Located at 13443 Freeway Dr. in Santa Fe Springs, Calif., this new HYLA modular refueling station at Tom's Truck Center is an important part of the Nikola sales and service dealer network. It begins operations today, and supports Nikola’s goal of 14 refueling solutions by year-end, reflecting a mix of HYLA and partner stations available for our customers.

Nikola also continues to launch stations and deploy assets based on anticipated demand, with the main objective of staying ahead of hydrogen fuel cell electric truck deployment to ensure fueling solutions are ready and available for end fleets.

“Nikola is committed to leading the hydrogen revolution by collaborating with key industry partners to strengthen and expand our hydrogen supply chain. Our efforts to grow the HYLA refueling infrastructure underscore our dedication to meeting the rising demand for hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks and driving the transition to zero-emission transportation,” says president of Energy, Ole Hoefelmann. “We thank the City of Santa Fe Springs, the Santa Fe Springs Fire Department, and Tom’s Truck Center for their support in making this project a reality and advancing the HYLA hydrogen network.”

“We are thrilled to be the first in the U.S. to offer a hydrogen refueling station onsite at our dealership to support the first wave of Nikola hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks now on the roads,” adds Tom’s Truck Center President and CEO KC Heidler. “Working with Nikola to make this happen also fits in perfectly with Tom’s Truck Center’s long-term commitment to zero-emission transportation.”
