(Phoenix / USA) – The US manufacturer of fuel cell trucks Nikola Corporation will purchase both hydrogen and ten “BayoTech HyFill” tank trailers from BayoTech, Inc. These are expected to transport the gaseous energy source to truck filling stations in Missouri this year and also to California from 2024. How the hydrogen is produced remains unclear; there is only talk of “low carbon”.

The agreement also includes BayoTech purchasing up to 50 Class 8 Nikola fuel cell vehicles (from 15 tons) over the next five years. The first twelve will be delivered in 2023 and 2024. The tucks have a range of 500 miles and are combined with BayoTechs trailers to transport hydrogen. The company produces hydrogen close to customers and distributes it to consumers via high-pressure gas transport and storage systems. BayoTech also sells and rents hydrogen production systems
