Nexio Power builds propane-powered commercial trucks and the engines that go in them, for propane distributors and for Class 5 through Class 8 fleets. On Sept. 1, 2026, it took a campus that was already a truck shop. The site is 77 acres on Highway 30 in Anderson, Texas, between College Station and Huntsville, about 80 miles from Houston’s Bush airport and 90 miles from the Port of Houston. Nexio’s own facilities page puts the address at 6740 Highway 30.
About 180,000 square feet is under roof. The main production building is 78,000 square feet, with seven overhead cranes up to 25 tons, a 30-foot hook, and twelve doors 25 feet by 20 feet. A 24,000-square-foot assembly building has twelve bays. Paint and finishing are four large booths and one sandblast booth, including a heated booth 20 by 100 feet, stated at 120 degrees, and a 20-by-60-foot blast booth. The test complex has eleven bays, a 300,000-gallon water tank, and water lines 14 to 18 inches across. Warehouse racking is 13,000 square feet. Counting every crane on the property, Nexio said thirteen overhead cranes were left in place, rated up to 25 tons. Power into the site is 3-phase 480-volt at 4,150 amps. Eave height runs from 20 to 40 feet.
“Anderson gives us immediate capacity in a facility that was already doing work very close to ours,” said Ryan Gaul, Nexio’s chief operating officer. The company did not name the operator that left. It said Anderson is the bridge to a larger campus planned in Lufkin. Nexio’s facilities page lists that Lufkin property at 36 acres. A separate company note in April 2026 called the Lufkin site 35 acres and said production vehicles are targeted for early 2027. That date is the company’s vehicle target, not a first truck leaving Anderson.
The engine Nexio puts forward is its PowerCore, a 7.2-liter supercharged V8. The company rates it at 330 horsepower and 775 foot-pounds, with no diesel exhaust fluid and no particulate filter, and says it is 25 percent quieter and more than 30 percent lower in total cost than the diesel it is meant to replace. Those figures are on Nexio’s site, not in the Anderson release. The same site says the company now has four Texas locations, more than 330,000 square feet, 113 acres, and more than $20 million in capitalized infrastructure. In April 2026 it also said the Propane Education and Research Council had backed a $6 million EPA and CARB contract for the work. The Anderson release itself named no headcount, no revenue, and no price for the 77 acres.

Campus measurements are from the Nexio Power release on PR Newswire, Sept. 1, 2026. The PowerCore ratings, the four Texas locations, 330,000 square feet, 113 acres, $20 million infrastructure, the Anderson street address, and the 36-acre Lufkin figure are from Nexio’s own site. The $6 million PERC contract and the early-2027 vehicle target are from Nexio’s April 20, 2026 news page. The photograph is the Grimes County Courthouse in Anderson, not the campus.
