Iwatani Corp. of America acquired several hydrogen-refueling stations in California, expanding its global reach by marking its entry in the United States which is designed to extend the hydrogen supply chain infrastructure.
Nikola's new hydrogen-electric tractor features scads of new technology. It's truly new from the ground up and drivers assigned to such trucks certainly won't be suffering.
Hyundai's Nexo and Tucson hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles have accumulated 7.5 million miles of driving time, which equates to the cumulative distance of circumnavigating the Earth's surface more than 300 times, Hyundai announced on Earth Day.
In Southern California, Toyota and Kenworth unveiled a jointly developed fuel cell electric heavy-duty truck, the result of a collaboration with the California Air Resources Board and the Port of Los Angeles.
Nikola plans to make hydrogen the transportation fuel of the future. Plenty of hurdles remain to be overcome before that happens, but the strategy the company disclosed at Nikola World 2019 seems workable. One of the biggest challenges could be getting the rest of the world to see the solution as Nikola sees it.
There’s water, water everywhere, and little of it being transformed into fuel. Nikola Motor wants to change that – as well as the way fleets pay for trucks and their fuel – as it rolls out the new hydrogen-powered Nikola Two.
We sat down with Nikola Motor Co. CEO Trevor Milton at the Nikola World event in Scottsdale, Arizona, where the evening before he had introduced the Nikola Two hydrogen-electric truck to the world, to get his thoughts on the fueling infrastructure, the competition, hydrogen vs. electric trucks, and why he thinks truck drivers will be eager to switch from diesel.
At the Nikola World event in Scottsdale, Arizona, Nikola Motor Co. showed off two new vehicles, the Nikola Two hydrogen electric Class 8 truck and the Europe-bound Nikola Tre.
Plug Power will offer a hydrogen fuel cell propulsion system for delivery vans and light- or medium-duty cargo box trucks this summer in Europe and Asia.
Nikola Motor Company recently signed a $16 million order to purchase equipment for the first phase of its advanced fuel cell development laboratory.
North Carolina-based hydrogen fuel company OneH2 completed the first stage of a dedicated hydrogen fuel plant for the East Coast that can serve forklift fleets and eventually heavy-duty trucks.
Nikola Motor's new president has more than 20 years of experience in building successful manufacturing companies.
Several developers of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) and hydrogen technologies are collaborating to streamline testing of heavy-duty hydrogen fueling hardware and help standardize fuel cell electric trucks.
“ICE” – the internal combustion engine – “is the enemy. Not hydrogen or BEV,” said Nikola as it said in a tweet that it's going to produce both battery-electric and hydrogen-electric trucks.
A hydrogen fueling station opened near the Los Angeles International Airport, which is the 39th retail hydrogen station in California, according to the California Fuel Cell Partnership.
