Hyroad secures full output from Texas hydrogen station with on-site production

Hydrogen trucking coordinator Hyroad Energy is working with Total Hydrogen Solutions (THS) to establish a Texas refuelling station with on-site electrolytic production capacity.

Under a commercial fuelling agreement, THS will design, build, and operate the facility, while Hyroad has committed to purchasing the station’s full fuel output to serve its fleet customers in the state.

Hyroad – which acquired 117 hydrogen-fuel cell trucks from Nikola Corporation’s bankruptcy auction in August 2025 – operates a pay-per-mile hydrogen trucking model.

Customers pay based on miles driven, while Hyroad bundles the vehicles, fuel supply, refuelling access, and operational support into a single service.

While specific details of hydrogen production and refuelling capacity at the station in Katy, Texas, remain undisclosed, THS said it will be equipped for the fast filling of heavy-duty trucks.

The firm recently for the receipt of Enapter’s EL4 and Flex120 electrolyser systems – capable of producing 1kg and 54kg of hydrogen per day, respectively. At the time, it said it was eyeing refuelling project opportunities in Canada.

While refuelling stations with onsite production capacity remain rare, integrating electrolysers at refuelling sites could reduce reliance on delivered supply and improve availability for commercial fleets.

Before its collapse, Nikola had outlined plans for stations with integrated onsite hydrogen production. However, its stations primarily relied on delivered fuel.

Hyroad first garnered attention when it partnered with Bosch Rexroth and GenH2 to develop what it called the US’s first “zero-loss” station in Dallas.

Hydrogen for heavy-duty mobility in the US broadly remains early-stage, with uptake constrained by high vehicle cost and limited refuelling infrastructure.
