Nikola Energy, Travelcenters of America to deploy hydrogen fueling
Nikola announces first two heavy-duty hydrogen fueling stations to be installed at TA-Petro stations.
Nikola Corporation and TravelCenters of America Inc have agreed to collaborate on the installation of hydrogen fueling stations for heavy-duty trucks at two existing TA-Petro sites.
This collaboration is a first step for the parties to explore the mutual development of a nationwide network of hydrogen fueling stations. The collaboration is subject to negotiation and execution of definitive documentation acceptable to the parties.
The first two stations will be constructed at existing TA-Petro locations in California and are targeted to be commercially operational by Q1 2023. Paired with the expected 500-mile range of the previously-announced Nikola Tre fuel-cell electric vehicle, the launch stations will enable operations of zero-emission heavy-duty commercial vehicles in and around the greater Los Angeles region and north through California's Central Valley.
“This exploration into hydrogen supply expands on our commitment to provide customers the widest range of fuel and non-fuel offerings, and on our Mission to 'return every traveler to the road better than they came," said Jon Pertchik, CEO of TA-Petro.
TravelCenters of America Inc. is the nation's largest publicly traded full-service travel center network. Founded in 1972 and headquartered in Westlake, Ohio, it current has over 270 locations in 44 states and Canada.
