A little below that the article says it 10% lighter and can take on an additional 2K pounds of cargo for additional revenue for full load. Weight reduction seems to be the big push to gain mpg now, especially as more and more emissions limitations get dumped on the trucks. If the fuel is comparable to diesel, I could see large fleets making the switch...gradually. I’d be interested more in the whole drivetrain, especially as it would potentially impact my current employment:-)
Initial look, probably due to the angle on the front, I didn’t see it as a cabover, but I can see how it could be considered that. I was thinking it was similar to the other OEM Supertruck concepts, but googled them and they are not as similar as I had remembered to the Nikola.
I’m interested in the drive train too. The design would obviously affect diesel engine manufacturers for the OTR market. Occupational trucks might be a different story. The hydrogen fueling stations would be a possible limitation at first.
