In late February 2025, Cavendish successfully commissioned and completed the Site Acceptance Test on HTEC’s hydrogen refueling station in Vancouver, Canada. During March, our teams worked closely on fine-tuning and site component updates to ensure the station operated in optimal condition.
From April through September, the station demonstrated steady progress, reaching an average availability of 90.37%. Notably, in July the station achieved 98.09% availability, highlighting the progress toward consistently high performance. Behind the scenes, Cavendish continues working towards driving availability even higher. Every installation teaches us something new: we identify technical updates—whether software improvements or component upgrades—implement them, and validate their performance in real operations. This continuous process is what brings us closer to near-100% availability.
HTEC’s Vancouver station is a strong example of Cavendish’s commitment to building reliable hydrogen infrastructure. Each site helps advance the entire industry by proving that hydrogen fueling works, is improving rapidly, and can serve customers dependably.
In North America, stations such as HTEC’s in Vancouver and those in California are built on the same core Cavendish technology. The only major difference lies in the electrical system. This means that lessons learned in Canada can be directly applied to California stations, and vice versa, creating a continuous improvement cycle across the region.
Hydrogen fueling is still an early-stage industry, but success comes through cooperation across the value chain—between technology providers like Cavendish, station operators such as HTEC, vehicle OEMs, and the end users who rely on dependable stations for their fueling needs.
Cavendish is committed to continuously improving hydrogen refueling station technology and to serving the North American market with reliable, high-performing equipment. Our goal is to ensure every station delivers the availability and dependability that customers expect, supporting the growth of hydrogen as a clean energy solution across the region.
