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.
