Taylor-Wharton built the cryogenic equipment for a 4.1K mobile hydrogen refueler trailer deployed at Tom's Truck Center in Santa Fe Springs, California, to support fuel cell truck fleets.
Taylor-Wharton, the cryogenic equipment unit of Air Water America, built the hardware for a mobile hydrogen refueling trailer now operating at Tom's Truck Center in Santa Fe Springs, California. The system was commissioned in June 2026.
The 4.1K Mobile Hydrogen Refueler Trailer delivers 700-bar hydrogen for heavy-duty fuel cell trucks. It serves two roles: providing fuel for fleet operators and helping pre-load permanent hydrogen stations before they come online. The design lets Hyroad Energy, the company deploying the trailer, stand up fueling capacity without waiting for fixed infrastructure.
Taylor-Wharton's scope covered engineering and manufacturing of the cryogenic equipment for liquid hydrogen service. The trailer uses the same components the company builds for bulk tanks and transport containers, adapted for mobile use.
"As the hydrogen economy continues to evolve, flexible infrastructure solutions are playing an important role in bridging the gap between vehicle deployment and permanent fueling networks," said Aaron Villarreal, Taylor-Wharton's director of sales and global hydrogen. "Taylor-Wharton is proud to contribute our engineering expertise and manufacturing capabilities to projects that help advance hydrogen-powered transportation."
Hyroad Energy bundles trucks, hydrogen fuel, maintenance and software into a single service for fleets. The company's head of hydrogen infrastructure development, Mike Archibald, credited Taylor-Wharton's engineering for the speed of the deployment.
"Taylor-Wharton's cryogenic engineering expertise made it possible for Hyroad Energy to stand up reliable hydrogen fueling in a matter of weeks," Archibald said. "Partnerships like this are exactly what the hydrogen trucking industry needs right now – equipment providers and infrastructure operators working together to close the gap between vehicle deployment and permanent fueling networks."
Hydrogen-powered trucks offer zero tailpipe emissions with refueling times close to diesel. Mobile refuelers like this one let fleets begin operating before permanent stations are built. Tom's Truck Center is a heavy-duty service location in the Los Angeles basin, a region where air quality rules are pushing fleets toward zero-emission vehicles.
Taylor-Wharton traces its roots to 1742 and today makes cryogenic tanks, transport containers, vaporizers and hydrogen fueling equipment. Air Water America, its parent, is a subsidiary of Japan's Air Water Inc.
