Nikola Corporation (NASDAQ: NKLA) has expanded its presence in Canada by selling a Nikola Tre battery-electric vehicle (BEV) and a hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) to the Alberta Motor Transport Association (AMTA). This partnership includes hydrogen refueling support through Nikola's mobile fueler. The trucks will be integrated into AMTA's Hydrogen Commercial Vehicle Demonstrations Project, aiming to collect performance data and promote zero-emissions technology adoption. The Nikola Tre BEV features a range of up to 530 km, while the FCEV boasts a range of up to 800 km and a fueling time of 20 minutes. This initiative aligns with Canada's emission reduction goals and positions Nikola favorably in a growing market for sustainable transportation solutions.

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. The Tre's cabover design is ideal for metro-regional applications because it has improved visibility and maneuverability, along with a smooth and quiet ride free of the smell of diesel emissions.
With a range of up to 800 km and an estimated fueling time of 20 minutes (depending on the characteristics of the hydrogen fueling location, including fueling hardware and software protocol, fuel quantity, and fueling conditions), the Nikola Tre FCEV is expected to have among the longest range of all commercially available zero tailpipe emission Class 8 trucks while realizing weight savings when compared to BEV Class 8 trucks with similar range. The Tre FCEV is well-suited for a variety of applications ranging from drayage and intermodal to metro-regional truckload and less than truckload, to certain specialized hauling use cases.
Nikola's HYLA hydrogen mobile fueler is an innovative, heavy-duty, 700 bar (10,000 psi) hydrogen mobile fueler capable of directly fueling FCEVs.
