Nikola Corporation achieved a significant milestone as it celebrated the commercial launch of the Nikola hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle at its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Coolidge, Arizona.
Nikola’s ground-breaking hydrogen fuel cell electric truck features a range of up to 500 miles and an estimated fueling time as low as 20 minutes. This truck is expected to have among the longest ranges of all commercially available zero tailpipe emission Class 8 trucks, with versatile applications ranging from drayage and intermodal to metro-regional truckload and less-than-truckload to certain specialized hauling use cases.
Nikola and its dealers in the US have received 223 non-binding orders for its hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks from 23 customers. Notable fleet operators such as J.B. Hunt, AJR Trucking, Biagi Bros. and TTSI, are among the growing list of customers committing to the future of sustainable trucking.
The completion of Phase 2 assembly expansion at the Coolidge manufacturing facility sets the stage for a new era in transportation. The facility stands ready to achieve an annual production capacity of approximately 2,400 trucks across three shifts.
As Nikola accelerates toward its goal of mass-producing hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks, the HYLA team is committed to securing a reliable hydrogen supply to meet the demands of 2023 and beyond by collaborating with partners who share in the vision for a sustainable and efficient future.
