Nikola, An American Company That Introduced Several Concepts for Zero-Emission Vehicles, Announced Two New Models of Trucks Powered by Hydrogen and Electricity

Nikola Corporation is an American company that has introduced several concepts for zero-emission vehicles since 2016. The company announced details about its program for commercial trucks powered by electricity and hydrogen in North America. The company, which experienced a setback with the Badger pickup, aims to establish a production line of zero-emission trucks once and for all to become a significant manufacturer in the American and European landscape.

Nikola’s global head of FCEV, Jason Roycht, said, “To accelerate the transition to a carbon-free future, the trucking industry needs heavy-duty commercial vehicles that are zero-emission, designed to match the weight and range of today’s diesel trucks. Nikola is excited to share additional details about our FCEV truck portfolio and our ongoing commitment to sustainable commercial transportation.”

The director of Nikola Motors also talked about the brand’s expansion: “Utilizing common components and systems for hydrogen propulsion will provide greater economies of scale and also allow Nikola to continuously expand and adapt our FCEV truck portfolio to meet diverse commercial trucking requirements.”

About the Model

The Tre model from the American version is very different from the original product with Iveco. The American truck will have a different design from the European standards, equipped with LED lights, fluid-shaped bumpers, and tall cabins.

Nikola Tre will also use cameras instead of rearview mirrors, as well as pneumatic accessories and pneumatic wheels. In the 100% electric version, the truck has a range of 482 kilometers, while the FCEV version with hydrogen fuel cells will have the capacity to travel 804 kilometers.
