Hyroad starts fueling and servicing IMC Logistics’ hydrogen truck fleet in California, putting the zero-emission rigs into regular support operations
As the year is now coming to an end, the United States is evaluating the amount of progress that it has made toward meeting its clean energy targets. What has been most notable is the amount of diversity in the projects that the government has supported and allowed to materialize as planned. The hydrogen sector is one of the rapidly evolving energy sectors because of the freedom that developers have to experiment through the use of scientific and technological expertise. Among the companies that have recently made progress is Hyroad, which started fueling and servicing IMC Logistics’ hydrogen truck fleet in California, putting the zero-emission rigs into regular support operations.
Understanding the massive contribution Hyroad is making to California
The United States’ approach during the clean energy transition has been diversifying the energy portfolio of every state and ensuring that there is a consistent supply of clean energy throughout the country. Hyroad Energy is an independent solution provider, operationalizing hydrogen-fueled commercial trucking for fleets.
The company is known for bundling trucks, hydrogen fuel, maintenance, and software into a single service so that fleets are able to run zero-emission vehicles without taking on the hurdles and risks that have slowed down adoption in the past. One of the biggest advantages that the United States has is access to forward-thinking companies that are capable of bringing groundbreaking projects.
Hyroad starts fueling and servicing IMC Logistics’ hydrogen truck fleet in California
A recent press release from Hyroad Energy revealed that IMC Logistics is now a Hyroad customer, receiving hydrogen fueling and vehicle maintenance services for its Class 8 hydrogen fuel cell truck fleet operating out of IMC’s Fontana, California facility. The announcement was made recently at the Intermodal Association of North America 2026 Expo in Long Beach, CA.
IMC Logistics is known for providing smarter landside logistics, giving clients greater control through the first and last mile. IMC delivers with actionable visibility, asset-based truck capacity, industry-leading sustainability, and long-established regional expertise across the nation. For Hyroad to receive such a reputable entity as its customer is a reflection of just how far it has come in hydrogen energy generation and the massive strides that it can still take.
The terms of the agreement state that Hyroad supplies hydrogen fuel to IMC’s trucks and provides ongoing maintenance and repair services, operating from space leased within IMC’s own yard. The two entities could form an extensive relationship depending on how the early stage goes and whether Hyroad is able to deliver.
Delving deeper into the Hyroad and IMC Logistics hydrogen-oriented agreement
The agreement gives IMC a single point of contact for keeping its hydrogen trucks fueled and on the road while allowing Hyroad to extend its refueling footprint. One of the reasons why IMC decided to go with Hyroad is because of Hyroad’s previous momentum in Santa Fe Springs, where it deployed a hydrogen refueling station in partnership with Taylor-Wharton and Tom’s Truck Center after identifying a gap in local fuel availability.
This monumental project is one that solidified or reiterated Hyroad’s ability to stand up hydrogen supply where it was previously constrained- an ability which is now set to extend to IMC’s Fontana operations.
A general overview: What is the significance of the initiative for Hyroad?
The project is one of the most important ones that the company has executed in 2026. Dmitry Serov, CEO and Founder of Hyroad Energy, stated the following:
“Every truck IMC runs on hydrogen out of Fontana is more proof that this fuel is working in real, daily fleet operations – not just in pilots. Reliable, everyday fueling is how hydrogen earns trust with fleets across Southern California.”
Hyroad’s primary vision is a future where every fleet has transitioned to zero-tailpipe emissions trucks because of their reliability, cost efficiency, and positive environmental outcomes. The company is among the many candidates that are looking to spearhead the next generation of hydrogen production.
