ANGI Energy Systems has announced a strategic collaboration with Nikola, which will see it provide technically advanced hydrogen fueling dispensers under Nikola’s HYLA brand.

The dispensers are expected to be the industry’s first HD-ready solutions in the field, offering high flow refuelling for heavy-duty vehicles.

The network build-out is in partnership with Voltera.

Hydrogen FCEVs are currently being developed by most leading global truck manufacturers, with the Hydrogen Council reporting that more than 130 FCEV models are expected to be assembled during 2023, of which the majority consists of commercial vehicles.

“The landscape of commercial transportation is shifting with Nikola’s hydrogen-powered trucks paving the way to a sustainable future,” said Nikola’s executive leader of Energy, Ryan McGeachie.

“With our cutting-edge technology harnessing a robust hydrogen network, innovation meets environmental responsibility, setting new standards for the transportation industry,” he said.

Joel van Rensburg, president of Alternative Fuels at ANGI said the collaboration with Nikola intends to underscore ANGI’s breadth and capabilities across the multi-energy landscape in support of decarbonisation.

“As a leader in alternative fuels, ANGI remains at the forefront of rapid technological changes,” he said, “delivering innovative, accessible, and safe solutions to meet our customers’ evolving energy needs in compressed natural gas, renewable natural gas and now hydrogen.”
