Iveco and Nikola have inaugurated a joint-venture manufacturing facility for electric heavy-duty trucks in Ulm, Germany
Iveco and Plus will integrate Iveco’s latest-generation S-Way heavy-duty truck with the PlusDrive full-stack autonomous driving system.
Daimler Truck, Iveco, Shell, the Volvo Group and energy company OMV announced a collaboration to ramp up the mass-market roll-out of hydrogen trucks in Europe.
Electric heavy-duty trucks – including a Euro-style high cabover for the North American market – could begin driving off the assembly line at Nikola's new Coolidge, Arizona, manufacturing facility in as little as 12-14 months, albeit in hand-built, very limited numbers.
Nikola has announced that the Iveco manufacturing facility in Ulm, Germany, will be the production hub for the Nikola Tre electric heavy-duty truck in Europe.
Under the agreement, Europe's Iveco and FPT Industrial will provide engineering and manufacturing expertise to help put into production Nikola’s fuel-cell and battery electric trucks:
Hydrogen-electric truck maker Nikola has entered into an exclusive strategic partnership with a major global truck builder “to accelerate industry transformation toward [the] emission neutrality of Class 8/heavy-duty trucks in North America and Europe through the adoption of fuel-cell technology.”
Fleet managers who purchase an Iveco Daily cargo van in Europe will now be able to add one of several new connected-vehicle packages powered by Verizon Connect that will give them additional insights into the operation of the vehicles.
The European Union is fining five truck makers nearly 3 billion euros for acting as a cartel to fix prices of medium and heavy-duty trucks and time the introduction of technologies to comply with emissions rules.
“Stralis NP is the first and only gas truck that has demonstrated it can be used in long-haul missions,” said Pierre Lahutte, brand president. Its range on LNG is up to 900 miles.
