Trevor Milton, C.E.O Nikola Motor co., released a strong statement stating that they were ready
to ignite the zero-emissions future. The announcement came just 28 months after they had
unveiled the sleeper trucks sample; trucks that allow drivers to rest since they have a sleeping
berth. The trucks were unveiled alongside other three special vehicles. The heavy-duty trucks
stole the show as those who attended were impressed.

Milton addressed the doubters by vividly expressing that the red Nikola Two day cab uses a
hydrogen fuel cell which was introduced in Salt Lake City back on 1 st of December 2016. Later
after presenting the trucks, the people were allowed a feel of the trucks for the very first time.
They also were allowed a privilege to experience the zero-emissions sports vehicle; the vehicles
had to capacity to be operated remotely just like a drone.

Milton reiterated that Nikola is working towards achieving a totally clean environment through
the transformation of the transport industry. The two trucks are designed to use a hydrogen-
electric fuel cell or battery-electric power which have different capacities in terms of power from
which the customers are free to choose. Milton said that he looks to work with a European truck
maker to see to it that the trucks reach them. The U.S truck is expected to start producing in 2022
only after testing and enter the market a year later. The trucks are fully supportive of all the
facilities required by sleepers.

Don Ake acknowledged the progress stating that truck makers are working hard to develop
trucks that do not use fuel. Orders for such trucks have already been placed showing how
everyone is into it. According to Nikola President, Mark Russel, it's a risk Anheuser-Busch is
taking since the trucks will be new I the market. He added that the trucks are quite complex with lots of parts, though they are working to simplify the manufacture in comparison to the preceding prototypes.

Nikola will be able to manufacture as many as up to 35,000 trucks annually at their best. Russell
claimed that there are people interested in working with Nikola in the running of the production.
He also said that Europe would face a ban on diesel since the emissions are a danger. A
hydrogen fueling station has been put up in Phoenix; it took six months for full completion in
addition to compliance with the laws. More are expected with time with a target of 700 by 2028.
Russel talked of the business breaking even shortly after 2023 as cash will already be flowing in
the business. He said that trucks would be readily available for lease that will be based on
mileage.
