100 hydrogen fuel-cell-electric (FCEV) Class 8 trucks have been ordered, according to Nikola, and dispatches should start in the fourth quarter.
According to Nikola's president and CEO, Michael Lohscheller, "we believe Nikola is the only company in the U.S. with a Class 8 hydrogen FCEV available in calendar year 2023, engineered and assembled in the U.S., as well as a variety of upcoming hydrogen energy solutions."
Customers are requiring zero-emission trucking solutions in order to satisfy their shipping requirements and achieve their environmental, social, and governance objectives as a result of this realization.
In terms of yearly CO2 emissions, one heavy-duty zero-emission truck is equivalent to taking 23 gasoline-powered passenger cars off the road.
