H₂ STATION ROLL-OUT
DEDICATED SINGLE-STATION STRATEGY
HYDROGEN STATION ROLL-OUT STRATEGY
Hydrogen fueling stations will be built one at a
time along dedicated routes, based on customer
need and network optimization
●

●

●
~450,000 trucks, or ~25% of total fleets(²),
operate along dedicated routes, typically
between a plant and distribution center along
major freight corridors
Initial build out of 1,200 station equivalents (3)
will be developed to serve this section of the
market (based on 210 trucks per 8,000kg station)
Station locations determined by pre-orders,
selecting customers with routes along the most
trafficked freight corridors
First stations may potentially operate as hubs,
allowing fleets to refuel within a 250-mile radius
Projected average one-time station capex of
$16.6M expected to support 630 leases over 21
years improvements in technology are
expected to reduce capex by 10% in 2025 and
beyond
Targeting dedicated routes segment enables a
focused roll out of H₂ station network to optimally
manage capital outlay
