Nikola Founder Trevor Milton Wants to Build iPhone of Trucks
May 28, 2019
Trevor Milton, founder and chief executive of hydrogen fuel cell truck developer Nikola Motor, wants to make his heavy-duty Class 8 semi-truck the “iPhone of trucking.”
As Nikola develops and tests the truck at its Phoenix, Ariz., headquarters in advance of a 2022 rollout, Milton is quick to point out advantages that he says hydrogen technology has over diesel trucks.
And, although Nikola also plans to have a battery-electric truck option, Milton questions the cost and sustainability of battery-electric trucks like the Tesla Semi.
Trucks.com caught up with Milton at the recent Advanced Clean Transportation Expo in Long Beach, Calif. Here is an edited version of the conversation and his remarks to a panel at the conference.
How’s business?
We stopped taking preorders after $14 billion of orders, and I’m sold out for eight years right now. Customers wanted to place more orders, and we couldn’t do it. We refunded all of our deposits because we didn’t want people to think we were using their money to fund our company. We have no debt. That was an important thing to me.

Kursen i nel kan halveras på kort tid menar nu experter.
Jeg fnyser åt slike "experter". Kursen ska ned till 2 kr ju.

Kortsiktig kursmål her er 30kr! Jeg er i likhet med deg en selvoppnevnt "tallknuser"! Jeg vet også at jeg får rett lenge før du oppnår dine mål...Merkelige mål forresten, med tanke på at du hevder å være aksjonær...
