Pacific Clean Fuels Announces California’s Largest Hydrogen Fleet Partnership Ahead of January Launch

Pacific Clean Fuels, Powered by Papé, announced a hydrogen fueling partnership with Hyroad Energy and OneH2 that will support what is expected to be California’s largest hydrogen truck fleet deployment. Commercial operations are slated to begin in January 2026, advancing zero-emission freight in the state’s busiest corridor.

Hyroad Energy’s Bold Truck Investment, Enabled by OneH2 and Pacific Clean Fuels Station Access

As part of Hyroad Energy’s significant commitment to zero-emission transportation, the partners are aligning distinct strengths to ensure reliable daily operations:

  • Hyroad Energy: Leading fleet transition with a large-scale investment in 113 Nikola hydrogen fuel-cell trucks.
  • OneH2: Providing innovative hydrogen fueling and dispensing solutions designed for heavy-duty, high-throughput use cases.
  • Pacific Clean Fuels: Investing in hydrogen transportation and fueling systems to enable safe, efficient, around-the-clock fueling availability.

“Pacific Clean Fuels is proving that hydrogen infrastructure is ready for commercial scale today,” said Gabriel Olson, Director of Alternative Energy and Infrastructure. “Backed by OneH2 and Papé’s strategic investment and operational expertise, our 24/7 station demonstrates that the future of hydrogen as a transportation fuel is here, allowing fleets to achieve their financial and emission targets.”

“This partnership demonstrates what’s possible when infrastructure providers, technology innovators, and fleet operators align around a shared goal,” said Dmitry Serov, CEO and Founder of Hyroad Energy. “Pacific Clean Fuels and OneH2 are providing the reliable fueling infrastructure our trucks need to operate at scale. Together, we’re proving that hydrogen trucking isn’t a future possibility—it’s happening right now in California’s most critical freight corridors.”

“Hydrogen adoption requires solutions that can scale with operational reality, not just theory. OneH2 has spent years building and deploying practical fueling systems that keep fleets moving reliably every day.” said Emmanuel Ewaleifoh, Regional Manager for OneH2 “Partnering on this initiative enables us to extend that impact and help shape an infrastructure system that balances performance, safety, economics, and long-term sustainability.”

A Balanced, Scalable Model for Zero Emission Freight

The deployment reflects a practical, shared-responsibility model that accelerates adoption while managing risk. Hyroad’s end-to-end support for the hydrogen trucking ecosystem, reduces upfront capital complexity for fleets, while OneH2’s fueling technology and Pacific Clean Fuel’s investment in infrastructure work together to keep trucks on the road. Hydrogen fuel offers a zero tailpipe emission solution, supporting emission targets for the communities surrounding the Port of Long Beach.

Safety, Compliance, and Community Partnership

OneH2 and Pacific Clean Fuels incorporated extensive safety features into this facility, operating in full compliance with all federal and state safety regulations. They work closely with local fire marshals, OSHA, and community stakeholders to meet the highest safety standards while supporting economic growth and environmental stewardship.
