Nikola Corporation began a new era in zero-emissions transport with their partner IVECO at the IAA Transportation 2022. The companies commercially launched the European Nikola Tre battery-electric vehicle (BEV) and unveiled the European Nikola Tre fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) beta version. The two vehicles were presented at a press conference on the Nikola and IVECO main stage.
The European 4×2 Artic version of the Nikola Tre BEV is a zero-emissions heavy-duty truck with the best-in-class range of up to 530km and the performance to complete a wide range of regional missions.
The European Nikola Tre BEV is produced by the Nikola IVECO Europe joint venture in its dedicated manufacturing plant in Ulm, Germany. The facility, inaugurated in 2021, features a final assembly process specifically designed for electric vehicles and operates to world-class manufacturing standards.
Nikola and IVECO announced the official opening of orders for the European 4×2 Artic version of the Nikola Tre BEV. The vehicle, which has a wheelbase of 4,021mm, features nine batteries with a total energy storage up to 738kWh, which delivers a range of up to 530 km. An 80% charge takes an estimated 100 minutes at 350kW. With 480kW continuous power of the FPT Industrial e-Axle, the truck has the power, torque and range to perform applications such as hub-to-hub deliveries and regional hauling – and its mileage can be extended with opportunity charging.
