Quidrogen is a smaller ship in the StEx fandom. While the two don't have an significant interactions in the show, the ship gained a quick fanbase. Partially due to the two being some of the newer characters added to the show. Which in turn means that many of the other characters already had ships the fandom was partial to. Leaving the two to end up being shipped with each others. The two are also both comonly headcanoned as gay, with some thinking that this means they wouldn't like any of the engine's, and instead would want to date a coach/freight. The ship name comes from a combination of Tassita being a quiet car, and Hydra being a hydrogen fuel truck. Its often considered an "Oppostes Attract" type of ship. As aside from freight and coach's not getting along, Tassita seems much less friendly and mean, while Hydra is very open, friendly and optimistic. The main rival ship is Tendersteam.

Fans of the ship sometimes depict Tassita as being annoyed that he likes Hydra. Aside from him being freight, which the coach's don't like, many of the characters find Hydra annoying. Which in turn could be a reason that Tassita is annoyed by his feelings for him. Others like the idea that Tassita is one of the few characters not annoyed by him. It is often depicted in fan art that Hydra would be "stupidly romantic" with Tassita, and try to get him break more of his ice queen demeanor.

On AO3, Quidrogen is the most written ship for Tassita and the second most written for Hydra. There are currently 10+ written works.
