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.
