Autonomous Trucks
Please let us know if you have feedbackArkansas-based J.B. Hunt Transport Services announced this week it has acquired 13 zero-emissions Class 8 trucks from Nikola. The order includes 10 battery-electric and three hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles, with delivery of the first vehicles expected this month, the company said in a statement. The carrier said its new zero-emissions trucks will be placed into service at facilities serving routes in the greater Los Angeles and Phoenix areas this year. Nikola disclosed during an earnings call in May it temporarily halted production of its Tre battery electric vehicles due to oversupply. But the move also allowed the company to modify its Coolidge, Arizona, plant to accommodate both hydrogen fuel cell and battery electric builds on the same line to streamline costs.
