Europe is set for the roll-out of zero-emission heavy-duty — trucks with the introduction of the Nikola TRE, a battery- _electric lorry that will act as a springboard for the launch of a fuel-cell freight vehicle. Arizona-based Nikola will bring its advanced electric technology proprietary infotainment system to the TRE, which is based on IVECO's S-Way heavy-duty truck, which was launched in July 2019. A maquette of the TRE was unveiled on December 3,2019 at CNH Industrial in Turin, Italy. The unveiling followed the creation of joint venture between Nikola and CNH's IVECO commercial vehicles arm, and FPT Industrial, its powertrain division. Iveco has invested $250m into Nikola and the first battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) are expected to be delivered in 2021, followed by fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) in 2023.
