The acquisition includes the vehicles, supporting software systems, and operational infrastructure necessary to deploy and maintain the fleet.

Hyroad will establish maintenance and parts facilities to support operations. 

The trucks will be deployed primarily in California, where Hyroad continues to develop hydrogen refueling infrastructure to support its customers. 

In addition to deploying the purchased trucks, Hyroad also intends to offer support for the Nikola trucks that are already in customers’ hands to enable the continuity and growth of the hydrogen-fueled truck market in the United States.

"These trucks and the corresponding equipment and systems represent immediate capacity to put proven hydrogen fuel cell technology on the road to meet demand for zero-emission trucks."
