Motor Company has been working on its hydrogen-powered semi trucks for years now, starting with the
with a sleeper cab, and a day-cab version called the
, with plans to build out a
network to support them. Now, Nikola has announced a third fuel-cell semi designed with Europe in mind. Called the
(meaning “Three” in Norwegian), it’s Nikola’s answer to Europe’s call for sustainable trucking.
The Tre is similar in power — if not in exterior design — to its American siblings. It’ll offer from 500 up to 1,000 horsepower, with up to 2,000 pound-feet of torque. It’ll be available in 6×4 or 6×2 configurations. Driving range between fill-ups will be between about 310 to
miles, depending on how it’s configured.
Nikola Motor Company Founder and CEO Trevor Milton said of the Nikola Tre:
“This truck is a real stunner and long overdue for Europe. It will be the first European zero-emission commercial truck to be delivered with redundant braking, redundant steering, redundant 800V DC batteries and a redundant 120-kW hydrogen fuel cell, all necessary for true Level 5 autonomy. Expect our production to begin around the same time as our USA version in 2022-2023.”
Nikola plans to offer a “Complete Leasing and Purchasing” program, which will cover the
under a set monthly price, including hydrogen fuel,
and scheduled maintenance. Customers can
for a
every seven years. Whie the price hasn’t been set, Nikola is currently taking reservations
. It says it will also offer the Tre tuck in Asia and
.
Nikola says it will begin testing the Tre in Norway around 2020. The company plans to have European hydrogen stations go into service in 2022, with a network covering most of that market by 2030.
The Tre will be officially unveiled to the public at Nikola World in Pheonix, Ariz. on April 16, 2019.
