Walmart Canada has made a significant move towards sustainability by integrating the first Nikola hydrogen fuel cell electric semi-truck into its fleet, making it the first retail fleet in North America to operate such a vehicle. This step aligns with Walmart Canada's goal of achieving zero emissions by 2040. Nikola, the US-based startup, also celebrated the milestone of collectively surpassing 2.5 million miles driven across North America by its hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) and battery electric vehicles (BEVs). The Nikola hydrogen fuel cell EV Class 8 tractor boasts zero tailpipe emissions and a range of approximately 800 kilometers, contributing to preventing around 97 metric tons of CO2 emissions annually. Nikola expressed their excitement in supporting Walmart Canada in this initiative and expressed anticipation for the future. Nikola's CEO, Steve Girsky, discussed the improvements in the second generation of battery electric vehicles, emphasizing the focus on cab-over design and hinting at future aerodynamic designs to accommodate the growing prominence of electric and fuel cell vehicles in the market.
