Nikola Corporation , a global leader in zero-emissions transportation and energy supply and infrastructure solutions, announced its HYLA brand’s fourth California hydrogen station location, building on its planned station network to advance and scale its long-term hydrogen distribution solutions to service market demand. Nikola’s integrated energy and zero-emissions truck portfolio will be underpinned by developing hydrogen supply and refueling infrastructure, an essential step in helping to decarbonize the heavy-duty transport sector.
The latest California refueling station and logistics infrastructure location will be in the city of West Sacramento. This station will further support Nikola’s truck demand, as well as third-party heavy-duty hydrogen electric vehicles. By the end of 2026, it is anticipated that Nikola, via its HYLA brand, will have 60 stations in place to support this growth.
California is a launch market for Nikola with the Class 8 Nikola Tre battery-electric vehicle, Nikola Tre hydrogen electric vehicle and the energy infrastructure underway to support key customers and advance the state’s efforts to decarbonize the transport sector.

“The first four stations in California are intended as part of Nikola’s energy strategy to support hydrogen electric truck demand,” said Nikola President, Energy, Carey Mendes. “Our recently announced hydrogen energy brand, HYLA, is dedicated to solving the complex challenges that the mobility and hydrogen industry have faced for decades by offering integrated mobility solutions, including the trucks and energy supply. The HYLA hydrogen refueling stations, along with a comprehensive energy supply, will provide our customers the support needed to seamlessly transition their fleets to zero-emissions.”
“We’re encouraged to see Nikola’s progress in helping to establish a sustainable hydrogen ecosystem in California by accelerating the development and deployment of clean, renewable infrastructure,” said Gia Vacin, Deputy Director of ZEV Market Development at the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz). “Projects like these will be key in decarbonizing California’s economy, while improving local air quality and providing tangible benefits to frontline communities.”
