"We believe that Nikola has created the best Class 8 zero-emission trucks in the world, between the battery-electric and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles, with superior technology that will help drivers, fleet owners and companies meet their goals. Adoption of Nikola trucks into a fleet marks a significant step toward sustainability, and we are eager to contribute to a cleaner future for the trucking industry."

This additional dealer brings the number of Nikola sales and service locations up to nineteen locations across the U.S. as it rapidly continues to fulfill its commitment to the expansion of the distribution network.
