Pacific Clean Fuels announces California’s largest H2 fleet partnership ahead of January launch

Pacific Clean Fuels, Powered by Papé, announced a H2 fueling partnership with Hyroad Energy and OneH2 that will support what is expected to be California’s largest H2 truck fleet deployment. Commercial operations are slated to begin in January 2026, advancing zero-emission freight in the state’s busiest corridor.

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 H2 fuel-cell trucks.
  • OneH2: Providing innovative H2 fueling and dispensing solutions designed for heavy-duty, high-throughput use cases.
  • Pacific Clean Fuels: Investing in H2 transportation and fueling systems to enable safe, efficient, around-the-clock fueling availability.

“Pacific Clean Fuels is proving that H2 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 H2 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 H2 trucking isn’t a future possibility—it’s happening right now in California’s most critical freight corridors.”

“H2 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.”

The deployment reflects a practical, shared-responsibility model that accelerates adoption while managing risk. Hyroad’s end-to-end support for the H2 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. H2 fuel offers a zero-tailpipe emission solution, supporting emission targets for the communities surrounding the Port of Long Beach.

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.
