Nikola sells first electric vehicles to Alberta Motor Transport Association

Nikola announces the expansion of its presence in Alberta, Canada, with the sale of a Nikola Tre battery-electric vehicle, or BEV, and a Nikola Tre hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle to the Alberta Motor Transport Association, or AMTA. AMTA is combining this purchase with refueling support, via access to Nikola’s innovative hydrogen mobile fueler. AMTA will incorporate the new heavy-duty vehicles into its Hydrogen Commercial Vehicle Demonstrations Project. This first-of-its-kind project in Canada officially launched on February 10, and offers Alberta carriers the opportunity to use and test Class 8 vehicles that operate with hydrogen fuel within their unique operations. These trials will look at the performance of hydrogen-fueled vehicles on Alberta roads, payloads, and weather conditions, while addressing challenges around fuel cell reliability, infrastructure, and vehicle cost and maintenance. The Nikola Tre BEV has a range of up to 530 km, one of the longest of the battery-electric zero-emission Class 8 tractors.
