Accelerating Zero-Emission Transportation
The acquisition marks a major step forward in Hyroad Energy’s mission to simplify the adoption of green technology for commercial fleets. According to Dmitry Serov, CEO and Founder of Hyroad Energy, the move is designed to provide turnkey hydrogen trucking solutions that help customers reduce the complexity and risk associated with transitioning to zero-emission technologies.
“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,” Serov stated. By integrating these vehicles into its fleet, Hyroad can immediately offer proven, road-ready solutions to clients looking to decarbonize their supply chains. This move significantly boosts the company’s operational capacity and shortens the timeline for getting more clean-energy trucks on American highways.
Comprehensive Fleet and Infrastructure Integration
The acquisition goes beyond the vehicles themselves. It includes a comprehensive package of supporting software systems, spare parts, and the operational infrastructure required to effectively deploy and maintain a large-scale hydrogen truck fleet. To support this expanded fleet, Hyroad Energy will establish dedicated maintenance and parts facilities. This end-to-end approach ensures that customers receive reliable service and that the vehicles maintain high uptime, a critical factor for commercial logistics operations. The inclusion of intellectual property and software platforms also gives Hyroad greater control over the technology, enabling further innovation and optimization.
Strategic Deployment and Market Support
Hyroad will focus its initial deployment efforts in California, a state leading the nation in zero-emission vehicle adoption and infrastructure development. The company is actively developing hydrogen refueling infrastructure in the region to create a seamless ecosystem for its customers.
In a move aimed at stabilizing and growing the market, Hyroad also announced its intention to offer support for Nikola trucks that are already in customers’ hands. This commitment ensures the continuity and growth of the hydrogen-fueled truck market in the United States, providing confidence to existing and potential adopters of the technology.
