The California Energy Commission (CEC) has awarded Symbio North America a $9 million grant to support the establishment of a new industrial facility in Temecula, Calif. for hydrogen fuel cell vehicle power systems and vehicle assembly, according to the company.

Symbio says its fuel cell technology reduces vehicle refueling time to 3-5 minutes and enhances range without compromising on performance, payload and capacity. The Temecula 32,000 square feet facility will assemble regional heavy-duty fuel cell Class 8 trucks, medium-duty fuel cell vehicles, and fuel cell power systems, and will create 63 permanent manufacturing positions over three years. According to a recent press release, it is expected to be operational by 2024 and with a maximum production capacity of 250 trucks and 2,000 fuel cell power systems per year, allowing the industry to expedite hydrogen-powered zero-emission heavy-duty mobility deployment in California.
