Phoenix, United States- Nikola Corporation., a global transportation and energy supply and infrastructure solutions provider, via its HYLA brand, announced an agreement to advance reliable hydrogen supply for zero-emission commercial fuel cell electric vehicle fleets with BayoTech, Inc. an hydrogen production, transportation and storage solutions provider. The supply agreement includes Nikola Class 8 hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks, BayoTech HyFil bulk hydrogen transport trailers, and hydrogen produced at BayoTech’s distributed network of hubs.
Nikola expects to take delivery of low-carbon hydrogen produced by BayoTech commencing in Missouri this year and California in 2024. Nikola plans to acquire up to 10 BayoTech HyFil transport trailers, facilitating the distribution of high-pressure gaseous hydrogen from the production sites to refueling stations that serve fuel cell electric vehicle fleets.
Michael Lohscheller, President and CEO of Nikola Corporation said, “Nikola and BayoTech are united by a common goal of providing reliable access to hydrogen throughout the United States. BayoTech’s low-carbon hydrogen fuel and transport equipment will play an important part in supporting the adoption of Nikola’s Class 8 fuel cell electric zero-emission trucks.”
BayoTech will purchase up to 50 Nikola Class 8 fuel cell electric vehicles over the next five years, with the first twelve trucks being delivered in 2023 and 2024. The Nikola trucks will be paired with BayoTech’s HyFill™ bulk hydrogen transport trailers to deliver low-carbon hydrogen to offtake customers from BayoTech’s hydrogen production hubs.
Mo Vargas, President and CEO, BayoTech said, “We’re immensely proud to be an industry leader in our commitment to deliver hydrogen to local customers via zero-emission fuel cell trucks. Partnering with forward-looking companies like Nikola allows us to accelerate the deployment of our hydrogen hub network and stimulate the growth of the hydrogen ecosystem.”
