It will be California’s fourth HYLA refuelling station, as the company builds its planned station network and targets 60 stations by the end of 2026.
The West Sacramento station will further support Nikola truck demand as well as third-party heavy-duty hydrogen electric vehicles, and is conveniently located close to a number of distribution centres.
Carey Mendes, Nikola President, said, “Our recently announced hydrogen energy brand, HYLA, is dedicated to solving the complex challenges that the mobility and hydrogen industry have faced for decades by offering integrated mobility solutions, including the trucks and energy supply.
“The HYLA hydrogen refuelling stations, along with a comprehensive energy supply, will provide our customers the support needed to seamlessly transition their fleets to zero-emissions.”
Nikola unveiled HYLA earlier this year, demonstrating its ability to cool and compress hydrogen to rapidly fill 700 bar fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) heavy trucks and coupled with a hydrogen tube trailer with a capacity of 960kg, allows HYLA to refuel customers back-to-back.

Last year the company announced the locations of three other hydrogen dispensing stations in California; Colton, Ontario and near the Port of Long Beach, Los Angeles.
Nikola believes California is a launch market for the company and it is hoped the stations will support key customers while advancing the state’s efforts to decarbonise the transport sector.

Nikola entered into a strategic partnership with Plug Power last year, announcing that Plug is set to supply 125 tonnes of green hydrogen per day to Nikola, while the truck manufacturer will supply up to 75 hydrogen-powered vehicles in return.
Plug will purchase the Nikola FCEVs over the next three years to bring green hydrogen to its customers in North America, with the first trucks expected to be delivered in 2023.

A Successful Ecosystem for Green Hydrogen – London
It is becoming ever clearer that the entire green hydrogen ecosystem requires alignment. Hydrogen’s potential, performance, and safety are proven. Green hydrogen is widely accepted as a core pathway to Net Zero, yet the key levers in the transition are not yet in-sync.
At H2 View we recognise the increasingly challenging economic climate that various countries/economies are currently facing. We want to help as many companies as possible in the hydrogen space to achieve their needs as competitively and logically as possible. As a result, we felt it was a compelling decision to relocate our previously planned event in Iceland, to a venue in London.
Join H2 View in London, one of the foremost investment capitals of the world, for a 1.5-day event devoted to thought leadership, insights, and actionable takeaways in the green hydrogen ecosystem, combined with the connections and networking to deliver against those objectives.
This H2 View hydrogen summit is dedicated to dissecting the ecosystem requirements to truly realise a green hydrogen-fuelled future across industries, transport, and society. This event will tackle all sides of the energy ecosystem, from wind and solar power requirements to additionality, water sustainability, electrolyser technologies, and investment and policy climate.
