ITD Industries Launches Commercial Hydrogen Refueling Station

ITD Industries announced the opening of the first commercial hydrogen refueling station for the heavy-duty transportation sector in Ontario, Canada. 

The station, located at ITD Industries' headquarters in Etobicoke, Ontario, is situated at 161 The Westmall, a pivotal location near Highway 401, Highway 427, and the Queen Elizabeth Highway (QEW). 

The agreement was signed with Nikola Corporation, an integrated truck and energy company that manufactures battery-electric and hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks, via the HYLA brand.

The hydrogen station marks a significant milestone for Nikola and ITD Energy, a subsidiary of ITD Industries, which is the first Canadian dealer in the Nikola sales and service network. The station uses a 700-bar pressure-fill system, allowing hydrogen fuel to be dispensed into onboard storage for long-range vehicles, such as the Nikola hydrogen fuel cell electric Class 8 truck.

"The presence of so many distinguished public and private figures, underlines and validates the importance of this station launch to the future of long-haul carbon-free commercial transportation. This station is the first of several ITD is planning on erecting across Ontario with Nikola Corporation as we aim to build a hydrogen fueling corridor connecting Windsor to Montreal," said Philip Turi, COO of ITD Industries, in a statement.

Nikola anticipates significant growth in Canada with eligibility received for the Incentives for Medium- and Heavy-Duty Zero-Emission Vehicles (iMHZEV) Program. The iMHZEV program offers Canadian organizations in all provinces, territories and municipalities up to CAD $200,000 in incentives toward the purchase or lease of the Nikola hydrogen fuel cell electric truck and up to $150,000 (CAD) in incentives toward the purchase or lease of the Nikola battery-electric truck.
