    [​IMG](The Nikola One hydrogen-powered truck.Nikola Motor Company) A Utah-based startup is trying to revolutionize the trucking industry with hydrogen power.
    Nikola Motor Company unveiled its hydrogen-powered truck, the Nikola One, on Thursday evening. The truck primarily relies on hydrogen fuel cells, but also comes with a 320 kWh battery, to achieve a range of 1,200 miles.

    I don't think they can do it myself. Who has ordered the truck with 4 billion in pre orders for a truck that's 4 years out from delivery. Then Fitzgerald Glider is going to make the first 5,000 truck. Is their another Fitzgerald because I don't see how they could build a truck.

    Was there last Friday. My opinion
    Pro - don't know yet.
    Con - truck is too long for docking
    didn't find towing hooks.
    Guess truck will be good for turnpike operation.

    Does it blast out to space? Looks like a space ship to me.

    I hope we don't gotta train to be astronauts with these future trucks.

    It has a certain appeal to it. Almost like that ugly chick you hang out with but don't want to be seen with in public.

    There's nothing appealing about a truck full of hydrogen. That will most certainly blast you off to space if you crash.

    Miami-based fleet management firm Ryder System, Inc., with more than 800 service locations, will be Nikola’s exclusive provider for distribution and maintenance nationwide and in parts of Mexico.
    Which means that you ll not be able to get it out of the shop. if ryder touches a truck, you can forget about it.
