A California court has advanced a civil fraud case against a Norwegian company at the center of the state’s failure to build workable hydrogen fueling infrastructure.

A case involving allegations of fraud against Oslo -based Nel ASA is moving toward a trial in October 2026 .

A judge left intact the core claims brought by a major player in the rollout of hydrogen infrastructure in the state.

The allegations center on a lesser-known aspect of the blundered roll-out: Iwatani is claiming that Nel duped it into buying faulty hydrogen fueling stations.

California 's difficulties with hydrogen vehicle infrastructure have driven home some stark lessons about the wider use of the technology.

ARCHES is targeting 50 to 60 truck-oriented stations around the state by 2030 .

FirstElement Fuel , another hydrogen fueling station provider, is positioned as a potential winner amid the crisis for the sector.
