Nikola Corp., a global company specializing in zero-emissions transportation, energy supply and infrastructure solutions, and sponsor California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) have been awarded a $41.9 million grant to build six heavy-duty hydrogen refueling stations across Southern California.
These six strategically located hydrogen refueling stations will be located along California freight corridors within the South Coast Air Quality Management District, San Diego County Air Pollution Control District and Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District. They are expected to have a significant impact on the region and the environment.
