Nikola Tre BEV

COMPANY STATUS: Nikola Corporation filed for Chapter 11 in the District of Delaware on 19 February 2025. Assets were sold under a Section 363 auction: Lucid Group acquired the Coolidge, Arizona plant, the Coolidge and Phoenix HQ leases and certain machinery, equipment and inventory for about USD 30M (closed 21 April 2025), expressly EXCLUDING Nikola's business, customer base and hydrogen fuel cell technology; Midwest Infrastructure Partners bought Nikola's 20% stake in Wabash Valley Resources for USD 1M. Lucid offered jobs to 300+ former Nikola staff. Nikola's own workforce was subsequently reported down to a single employee. There is no successor building the Tre. PRODUCT HISTORY: series production of the Tre BEV began 21 March 2022 at Coolidge, Arizona (the truck is an Iveco S-Way-derived cab-over, a product of the former Nikola-Iveco joint venture). Production was paused in 2023 with inventory unsold. In August 2023, after two fires at the Phoenix HQ traced to a coolant leak from a single supplier component inside the battery pack, all 209 delivered Tre BEVs were recalled and sales were halted indefinitely. SPECS: 733 kWh, 330 miles, twin e-motor axle rated 645 hp continuous (recorded as 481 kW) with peak reported as 'north of 1,000 hp' - the peak is not a firm manufacturer number so it is left null. Peak wheel torque quoted as over 33,000 lb-ft, which is an axle output figure, not motor torque, so torqueNm is left null. 82,000 lb GCWR. Battery chemistry never confirmed publicly.
