All this is part of a nationwide plan for Nikola’s Class 8 truck sales and service coverage. In partnership with IVECO, the US company introduced its heavy-duty battery-electric trucks in Turin, at the end of 2019, also announcing very interesting plans for fuel-cell electric vehicles to be introduced in the following years.
