Nikola Corp. Introduces HYLA - its new Hydrogen Energy Brand

Nikola Corp.has created a new global brand, HYLA, to encompass the company's energy products for producing, distributing and dispensing hydrogen to fuel its zero-emissions trucks. Under the new brand, Nikola is developing access of up to 300 metric-tons per day (TPD) of hydrogen. 

With the intent to have 60 hydrogen stations in place by 2026, the first announced hydrogen stations will be in California in Colton, Ontario, and a location servicing the Port of Long Beach. 

With a range of up to 500 miles, the US company's Nikola Tre FCEV is expected to have among the longest ranges of all commercially available zero tailpipe emission Class 8 tractors while realising weight savings when compared to battery-electric Class 8 trucks with similar range. 

Nikola CEO and President, Michael Lohscheller, says: "Nikola is the only company that is successfully integrating a revolutionary new product, the hydrogen fuel cell truck, and the full hydrogen energy infrastructure supply chain under one roof. The unveiling of our Nikola Tre fuel cell truck and flexible mobile fueling trailer demonstrates a real and sustainable competitive advantage for our customers and are significant proof points that we are accomplishing what we set out to achieve."

"The HYLA brand represents Nikola's hydrogen-focused energy business by supporting our fuel cell electric vehicles and those of other OEMs," adds Carey Mendes, President, Nikola Energy. "Hydrogen energy is the catalyst for the HYLA brand and serves as a forward-looking solution for our customers to help them achieve their sustainability goals and dramatically reduce the overall carbon emissions in the transportation sector."

Founded in 2015, Nikola Corporation is headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona.
