The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Nel Hydrogen Inc. (Nel) for the design, development, fabrication, and field testing of a compressor prototype for high-capacity hydrogen fueling of Heavy Duty Vehicles (HDV). Design, fabrication, and testing activities would occur at Nel’s facility in California and Nikola Motor Company’s laboratory test facilities in Arizona. For testing, Nikola’s existing facility would be upgraded with the hydrogen compressor prototype. The project would be completed over three Budget Periods (BPs), with a Go/No-Go Decision Point in between the BPs.
