The two companies, in an announcement on Thursday, said that they will collaborate on providing hydrogen fueling options at two existing TA-Petro locations in California. The station will serve vehicles around Los Angeles and north of the city through the Central Valley.

The fueling stations are expected to commence operations in the first quarter of 2023 and will be compatible with all hydrogen fuel-cell powered trucks regardless of the manufacturer.

The companies anticipate developing a nationwide network of similar hydrogen fueling stations.

The announcement of the partnership with TravelCenters of America is the second in weeks. last week, Nikola had announced its collaboration with IVECO to deploy hydrogen infrastructure in Germany.

A subsidiary of CNH Industrial, the partnership aims to develop a pipeline network for transporting hydrogen from the sources of production to the fueling stations. The deal is in its initial stages; the companies didn’t provide a date for when the infrastructure will be operational.

Pablo Koziner, Nikola’s president for energy and commercial, said that the “collaboration in Southern California will form a basis for building an expanded network of hydrogen fueling stations for Nikola vehicle customers and industry use overall. This collaboration forms an essential part in delivering the hydrogen-based ecosystem required to advance zero-emission solutions for commercial trucks.”
