Nikola Corporation, headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, is a pioneer in zero-emission transportation solutions for the heavy-duty trucking industry. Since its founding in 2014 by entrepreneur Trevor Milton, the company has specialized in developing hydrogen fuel cell and battery-electric powertrains for Class 8 trucks. With a focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions in freight transport, Nikola integrates advanced propulsion technologies and energy infrastructure to support large-scale fleet operations.
Nikola’s vehicle lineup features two primary platforms: the Nikola Tre, offered in both battery-electric and fuel cell electric variants for European and North American markets, and the Nikola Two, a hydrogen fuel cell semi-truck designed for long-haul applications. Complementing its truck offerings, the company is rolling out Nikola Energy, a network of high-capacity hydrogen fueling stations aimed at ensuring reliable fuel supply for commercial fleets. Nikola has also explored zero-emission concepts for off-road and marine use, reflecting its broader ambition to serve multiple transportation segments.
Serving customers across North America and Europe, Nikola collaborates with established OEMs and suppliers to accelerate production and infrastructure deployment. Key partnerships include an alliance with Iveco for European manufacturing and a technology agreement with Bosch for hydrogen storage solutions. Production facilities in Coolidge, Arizona, and a joint venture plant in Ulm, Germany, are central to Nikola’s strategy of localized manufacturing to meet regional demand and streamline delivery timelines.
Under the leadership of President and Chief Executive Officer Mark Russell, Nikola’s executive team is supported by a board of directors with deep expertise in automotive engineering, energy services and commercial operations. The company continues to advance vehicle certification processes and expand its hydrogen infrastructure footprint while refining its go-to-market approach. Committed to driving the transition to clean transportation, Nikola aims to deliver sustainable value to customers and stakeholders through its hydrogen and battery-electric innovations.
