The trucking industry publication highlights US Hybrid’s planned hydrogen truck and bus production, hydrogen supply partnership, and California workforce investment.
1. Newsroom introduction
LANCASTER, Calif. — August 26, 2026 — TruckNews has featured US Hybrid’s planned headquarters and manufacturing operations in Lancaster, California, highlighting the company’s commitment to producing hydrogen-powered trucks and buses for commercial and public-sector fleets.
The coverage also examines US Hybrid’s partnership with First Public Hydrogen (FPH₂) and the City of Lancaster, which combines vehicle manufacturing with coordinated hydrogen supply.
2. Building hydrogen-powered trucks and buses
At its new Lancaster facility, US Hybrid plans to manufacture hydrogen-powered trucks and buses while continuing to provide repower solutions that convert existing fleet vehicles to fuel-cell propulsion.
US Hybrid develops and integrates its own fuel-cell systems, power electronics, energy-storage solutions, and vehicle-control technologies to support demanding commercial transportation applications.
3. A coordinated hydrogen supply model
The partnership with First Public Hydrogen is designed to connect vehicle deployment with dependable hydrogen availability. FPH₂ will support hydrogen supply for US Hybrid’s operations and vehicles, helping fleet operators pursue zero-emission transportation with greater confidence.
This coordinated approach addresses a core challenge in hydrogen mobility: ensuring that vehicles and fueling infrastructure grow together.
4. Lancaster headquarters and manufacturing operations
US Hybrid’s new Lancaster headquarters will bring engineering, manufacturing, vehicle integration, and workforce-development activity to the Antelope Valley. Operations are expected to begin in 2027.
The facility is projected to support up to 1,200 skilled manufacturing and engineering jobs, contributing to Lancaster’s growing clean-technology and advanced-manufacturing economy.
5. Supporting fleet decarbonization
Hydrogen fuel-cell technology can play an important role in fleet applications that require long range, rapid refueling, high payload capacity, and reliable daily operation. US Hybrid is focused on delivering practical powertrain solutions for trucks, buses, port equipment, and other heavy-duty vehicles.
The company’s equipment is already operating in demanding environments, including the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, where zero-emission technologies are being adopted for cargo-handling equipment and drayage operations.
6. Advancing a complete mobility ecosystem
US Hybrid’s work extends beyond building vehicles. The company is helping advance the broader hydrogen-mobility ecosystem by connecting vehicle technology, hydrogen supply, fleet deployment, and the skilled workforce needed to operate and maintain these systems.
The Lancaster initiative demonstrates how public-private collaboration can help translate clean-transportation goals into real-world fleet solutions.
7. Industry recognition
TruckNews’ coverage underscores the relevance of this expansion to the commercial-trucking sector. As fleets evaluate pathways to reduce emissions, the combination of hydrogen vehicle manufacturing, fleet-conversion capabilities, and coordinated fuel supply offers a meaningful model for the industry.
