The Port of Oakland has officially launched a $53 million project to start using hydrogen-powered electric trucks to haul freight across Northern California. 

The port unveiled its NorCal ZERO project on May 2, deploying 30 Hyundai XCIENT Class 8 hydrogen fuel cell trucks with a range of more than 400 miles before needing to refuel. The vehicles will be used to move freight and cars to parts of the Bay Area and Central Valley, and are the first mass-produced, heavy-duty hydrogen trucks in the world.

“The Port of Oakland is pleased to be a part of this innovative, clean energy project that puts Oakland at the forefront of addressing global climate change,” said Port of Oakland executive director Danny Wan. “This hydrogen fuel station and these fuel cell trucks represent a strong option for the future of trucking in California."

The trucks will refuel at a newly-opened, high-throughput liquid hydrogen station. That station has a capacity of 18,000 kilograms and can support over 200 trucks daily. Zero emissions nonprofit Center for Transportation and the Environment also estimates that the project could cut carbon-dioxide emissions in the region by more than 24,000 metric tons.
