Tearing up the trucking rulebook – bold claims from new arrival

There will soon be a fresh face on the US heavy truck market and it's looking to rewrite the rule book. Named for the brilliant and eccentric inventor Nikola Tesla, the Nikola Motor Company plans to launch an electrified Class 8 semi-truck, currently called the Nikola One. The model is scheduled to make its global debut on 2 December. Details are scarce but initial interest has been strong and the company is coming out with some pretty bold claims.
