Although the new US government's new government, Trump, prefers to use fossil fuels, it has its own ideas for the US clean energy sector. Recently Nikola Motor has just released an oversized 8-wheel truck, and the biggest highlight of this new truck is the use of hydrogen fuel cells, the cruising range will reach 1900 kilometers, is expected to be officially listed in 2020.

This hydrogen fuel truck is called Nikola One and is designed for long-haul land transport. According to the company, the Nikola One's single-box hydrogen fuel can provide cruising range of 1300 to 1900 kilometers, with 1000 horsepower and 2,000 pounds of torque. If it can really reach the level claimed by Nikola, the hydrogen fuel truck will be twice as powerful as the existing common-duty diesel truck.

The Nikola One is fully powered by an electric drive system that is powered by a high-density lithium battery and charged by a hydrogen fuel cell. Of course, the current popularity of hydrogen fuel supply stations is still scarce in the United States, so Nikola will also build 364 hydrogen fuel supply stations from 2018 like Tesla.

In addition to fuel costs, Nikola also provides truck rental services, including repair and service charges, but although Nikola also announced specific pricing and rental fees, NMC said it will receive nearly $3 billion in orders in the future. .

At the press conference in Salt Lake City, Utah, Nikola founder and CEO Trevor Milton said that Nikola One is currently the "world's most advanced semi-trailer truck." Nikola One's innovation is equipped with a smart dashboard that calculates the most efficient route for the driver. At the same time, the driver will be provided with one or two single beds, a 40-inch curved 4K Ultra HD TV, an Apple TV set-top box, a Wi-Fi connection, a 4G LTE connection, a refrigerator and a microwave oven.

The first batch of about 5,000 Nikola One will be produced by truck giant Fitzgerald, while Milton said he hopes to establish his "world's most advanced factory" in mid-2017. At the same time, he also said that the capacity of each factory in the future will reach 50,000.

And Nikola will face competitors in the future, including Tesla. In August of this year, when Elon Musk announced Tesla's second "master plan" on his blog, he said that he would also develop and produce articulated semi-trailer trucks. However, Elon Musk did not disclose more details.

In the past few years, several hydrogen fuel vehicles, including Toyota Mirai and Riversample Rasa, have performed well in the market. Therefore, if the problems of basic facilities such as supply stations are solved, the future of hydrogen fuel will become electric. There is another potential clean energy vehicle outside the car.
