Nikola said it has secured an innovative electric rate schedule with Arizona Public Service Company that will accelerate the development of hydrogen-based fueling solutions for the transportation industry.
Nikola has announced that the Iveco manufacturing facility in Ulm, Germany, will be the production hub for the Nikola Tre electric heavy-duty truck in Europe.
Using a Nikola hydogen-electric truck and a BYD electric truck, Anheuser-Busch completed a delivery from its brewery to a local wholesale partner that the company is touting as its first "zero-emissions beer delivery."
Nikola has developed a new type of battery it claims could allow ranges of up to 800 miles between charges for battery electric trucks with a 40% weight reduction and 50% lower cost.
For fleets, the availability and viability of electric trucks is still a mystery. Even for early adopters with an interest, the options are few and the realities are unknown.
Nikola's new hydrogen-electric tractor features scads of new technology. It's truly new from the ground up and drivers assigned to such trucks certainly won't be suffering.
Nikola Motor Company recently signed a $16 million order to purchase equipment for the first phase of its advanced fuel cell development laboratory.
With Nikola trucks launching in 2020 and in full production by 2021 and hydrogen fuel stations popping up across the country, hydrogen may become a serious factor for trucking sooner than we think.
Nikola Motor Company announced it has raised and funded more than $100 million in August and expects to double it by the end of C-round funding.
Nikola Motor has started hiring for its Arizona Research & Development Center that is slated to open in November.
