 Genesis of the Symbio H2 Central Valley Express project : California's path to carbon neutrality

The H2 Central Valley Express project has been initiated to support California’s roadmap in achieving economy-wide carbon neutrality by 2045. Thanks to a crucial $2 million grant from the California Energy Commission (CEC), the project came to reality. Additionally, industry leaders such as Frontier Energy, GTI, Michelin, Ricardo, and Total Transportation Services (TTSI) have joined forces to further support the project.

400 kW H2-powered, heavy-duty truck

This regional 8-class vehicle, retrofitted with a powerful 400 kW Symbio fuel cell, replacing a 15-liter diesel powertrain, features unprecedented range and performance capabilities. Over the course of 12 months, the truck will be travelling back and forth on a 400-mile section of the Interstate 5, from Fontana, Inland Empire to Lathrop, Northern San Joaquin Valley.

Purpose of the Symbio H2 Central Valley Express
Achieving zero-emission mobility

Its purpose extends far beyond transportation: it's about building a positive future. The ultimate goal is to prove that zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles can be as reliable and convenient as their diesel counterparts and thus, overcome the barriers of zero-emission mobility development. By showcasing the performance of hydrogen-powered trucks, this project paves the way for a cleaner future in California, where Symbio is playing a key role: our Fuel Cell facility in Temecula stands as the front-runner in fuel cell production for heavy-duty transportation with 250 trucks, and 2,000 fuel cell power systems produced annually by 2024.
