UNBELIEVABLE
ACCELERATION
ACCELERATION
While diesel engines require high RPM's to reach peak torque, electric motors hit peak torque almost instantly. This enables the Nikola trucks to accelerate nearly 2x faster than a stock diesel tractor.
SUPERIOR
FUEL ECONOMY
FUEL ECONOMY
Better aerodynamics, using energy only when needed with no idling, regenerative braking, and highly efficient electric motors and fuel cells are a few factors that give Nikola the advantage when it comes to fuel economy.
AS LIGHT AS
COMPARABLE DIESELS
COMPARABLE DIESELS
When pulling at max capacity, every kilogram counts. Being as light as comparable diesels allows Nikola owners to transport more goods on each load.
TORQUE
VECTORING
VECTORING
Torque vectoring allows control of each wheel independently through drive-by-wire. By communicating with the motors up to 30 times a second, the speed of each wheel can be adjusted while cornering, maneuvering, accelerating and braking.

Safety
ZERO
EMISSIONS
EMISSIONS
Hydrogen power enables our trucks to refuel quicker, go further, and weigh less, all with a zero emission sustainable solution that is friendly on our lungs and the environment.
STOP
FASTER
FASTER
With regenerative braking and air disk brakes, Nikola trucks begin braking within 10 milliseconds; hundreds of times faster than advanced air-only disc brakes.
LOW CENTER
OF GRAVITY
OF GRAVITY
Removing the diesel engine, transmission, and emissions equipment and installing batteries, electric motors and a fuel cell below the frame rail keeps the center of gravity lower than any other semi truck on the market.
SURROUND
VISION
VISION
A virtual aerial view of the area surrounding the truck in real time makes blind spots a thing of the past. Several high definition cameras combine with radar, sonar and computing software to provide 360° views optimal for visibility and safety.

LEASING
Nikola's Complete Lease Program includes hydrogen fuel, warranty and scheduled maintenance. We get asked about the cost of ownership more than anything else. For this reason, we created the Nikola™ Complete Leasing Program.
This will allow owner-operators and fleets to get into a new Nikola One™ or Nikola Two™ and know their total cost of ownership every single month, regardless of fluctuating fuel costs and miles driven. On approved credit, the Nikola™ Complete Leasing Program will cover hydrogen fuel, warranty and scheduled maintenance. Owners will be able to trade-in for a new Nikola Two™ every 84 months.
Whether you drive 8,000 miles per month solo or 16,000 miles per month as a team, your fuel cost is covered by Nikola™*. Tax, title and license not included. More information will be updated to reservation holders and our website regarding details of the lease program.
Already reserved a Nikola truck? Don't worry, you will have the choice to choose between buying or leasing later when we finalize the design and order with you.
*Lease price may vary based on miles of fuel included with lease
