HYDROGEN BOOM!

Nikola reveals Two and Tre fuel-cell trucks and its H₂ fueling roadmap, as well as battery-electric military and powersports vehicles.

On-highway Class 6-8 trucks are Nikola's main business and engineering focus, but the Arizona-based startup is expanding its product range to include powersports and military sectors to demonstrate its technology's adaptability. In addition to the Nikola Two and Tre hydrogen fuel-cell trucks for North America and Europe, respectively, the manufacturer revealed a battery-electric all-terrain vehicle, an autonomous-capable military vehicle and a personal-watercraft concept to about 2,000 attendees of the Nikola World opening event in Scottsdale, Ariz., near the company's Phoenix headquarters.

Nikola plans to offer battery-electric variants of its two day-cab semi-trucks, but CEO Trevor Milton expects hydrogen fuel cells to account for at least 80% of its business.
