Hyroad Energy formed a new partnership with Pacific Clean Fuels, powered by Papé, and OneH2 to support what it calls one of California’s largest hydrogen truck fleet deployments, with commercial operations expected to begin in January 2026.

Hyroad will deploy some of its 113 recently acquired Nikola hydrogen fuel-cell trucks into service on key freight routes between the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles. Meanwhile, OneH2 will be working with Pacific Clean Fuels on building a hydrogen station in Long Beach that will supply fuel to Hyroad trucks under an exclusive agreement.

Hyroad says that by combining its truck-as-a-service operation with Pacific Clean Fuels’ hydrogen infrastructure footprint and OneH2’s heavy-duty fueling systems, the agreement will enable reliable, commercial-scale performance of hydrogen-powered trucks. 

“Building a sustainable hydrogen trucking ecosystem means aligning every part of the value chain,” said Dmitry Serov, CEO and founder of Hyroad Energy, in a news release. “Pacific Clean Fuels and OneH2 share our vision for scaling hydrogen freight through real infrastructure and operational readiness. Partnerships like this are how we connect the pieces needed to support long-term, commercial hydrogen operations.”

“Pacific Clean Fuels is proving that hydrogen infrastructure is ready for commercial scale today,” added Gabriel Olson, director of alternative energy and infrastructure at Pacific Clean Fuels. “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.”
