Tom’s Truck Center Deploys Hydrogen Refueling Station
Tom’s Truck Center, a truck sales and service company, opened its first hydrogen refueling station on-site at a commercial truck dealership.
The Nikola HYLA modular hydrogen refueling station for the heavy-duty transportation sector is located onsite at Tom’s Truck Center’s Santa Fe Springs location in Los Angeles County, a strategic location along Highway 5, one of the busiest highways in the nation.
The high-pressure (700-bar) dispensing equipment allows for reliable turnaround times, refueling up to 30 trucks daily. Conveniently located along the highway, this setup minimizes downtime for heavy-duty trucks needing refueling such as the Nikola hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle.
“California is laying the foundation for a hydrogen-powered future, and we are proud to help drive this transition,” said Tom’s Truck Center President and CEO KC Heidler in a statement. “This station allows us to support our customers who choose hydrogen units by offering the necessary infrastructure. By partnering with HYLA and making hydrogen refueling accessible, we’re significantly reducing carbon emissions, improving air quality, and setting new standards in clean transportation.”
Other HYLA hydrogen refueling locations in California include Long Beach and Ontario, and the company anticipates 14 hydrogen refueling solutions will be operational by the end of 2024.
The long-term plan incorporates a Tom’s Truck Center permanent hydrogen refueling station, which is projected to be completed by the end of 2026.
Tom’s also offers new and used sales, rental and leasing options, and service for EV and hydrogen trucks of all sizes. Tom’s zero-emission transportation experts help customers navigate government incentive programs, provide charging options, educate on available products, and more.
