New “game changer” electric-hydrogen truck from Nikola Corporation will help drive down the cost of fuel cell components on its semi-truck while accelerating the hydrogen station rollout, the US startup said.

Nikola yesterday revealed its Nikola Badger electric-hydrogen pick-up truck, which the company said will be the “world’s most advanced zero emission FCEV/BEV pick-up truck”.

With an estimated range of 600 miles, Nikola said it is unlike anything on the market and is designed to target and exceed every electric or petrol pick-up in its class.

The Badger is engineered to deliver 980 ft. lbs. of torque, 906 peak HP and 455 continuous HP. It will be built in conjunction with another OEM utilising their certified parts and manufacturing facilities.
