Electric truck maker Nikola Corp. has a letter of intent for 100 fuel cell electric trucks from flatbed hauler PGT Trucking, converting a piece of its 14,000-unit reservation book for hydrogen-powered FCETs that has Anheuser-Busch at the front of the line. Deliveries of fuel cell-equipped Tre daycabs capable of up to 500 miles of range are scheduled to begin in 2023. Early builds are underway at Nikola’s new plant in Coolidge, Arizona. The first two trucks will be road-tested by Anheuser-Busch, which contracted for up to 800 FCETs in 2018. Nikola is continuing contacts with potential customers that placed reservations for 14,000 fuel cell trucks, CEO Mark Russell told FreightWaves on Thursday.
Nikola (NASDAQ: NKLA) is building out its planned network of hydrogen fueling, including a recent agreement with other major hydrogen players to standardize hoses and nozzles that will put filling a fuel cell truck on par with the time it takes to refuel a diesel truck.
The startup has made several moves toward fulfilling a pledge of having 700 hydrogen filling stations by 2028, including last week’s agreement with Canada’s TC Energy to collaborate on plans to build and operate large-scale hydrogen hubs.
