Walmart first major retailer in North America to deploy hydrogen semi truck

The Nikola HFCEV is a Class 8 tractor with a range of about 800 kilometers ( over 400 miles) “per tank” and an 82,000,000 GCWR that can, when compared to a conventional semi, avoid putting nearly 100 metric tons of CO2 tailpipe emissions into the air each year – which is one of the reasons electrifying the commercial truck sector is so critical.
