Nikola develops hydrogen mobile fueler, capable of directly fueling FCEVs; contains massive capacity designed for flexibility.

Here’s an article posted in Hydrogen Central.

According to the article,

  • Nikola Corporation has developed a 700 bar (10,000 psi) hydrogen mobile fueler capable of direct fueling FCEVs.
  • The mobile fueler program includes Nikola’s own mobile fuelers as well as a number of third-party mobile fuelers, providing customers with a variety of flexible fueling options
  • The first of Nikola’s mobile fuelers is already in commercial operation, with others expected to be deployed in Q1 of this year.

Several notable developments in hydrogen fuel cell technology and infrastructure are occurring globally, reflecting a growing trend towards zero-emission transportation solutions. Here are some significant examples:

1. Hyundai’s XCIENT Fuel Cell Trucks

Hyundai has introduced the XCIENT Fuel Cell truck in Switzerland, where it operates on a pay-per-use model. The fleet has reportedly driven over 1 million kilometers within 11 months of service.
