Nikola Delivers Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Semi-Truck To Walmart Canada
Walmart Canada has added a hydrogen fuel cell-powered electric semi-truck from Nikola Corp. (NASDAQ:NKLA) to its fleet, making it the first major retailer in the country to do so, the EV truck maker said on Thursday.
沃尔玛加拿大已将尼古拉公司(NASDAQ:NKLA)的氢燃料电池动力半挂车加入其车队，公司称这是该国第一家这样做的大型零售商。
What Happened: The new truck will be deployed in Ontario for longer-haul trips, the company said.
新半挂车将在安大略省用于长途旅行，该公司表示。
"This is a first for a retailer in Canada and is an example of how we will continue to push forward, embrace new technology and spark change within the industry," Walmart Canada CEO Gonzalo Gebara said about the latest addition to its fleet.
沃尔玛加拿大首席执行官冈萨洛·吉巴拉关于最新车辆的加入表示：“这是加拿大零售商的首次尝试，也是我们一直推动技术变革、推动行业变革和激发变革的一个例证。”
Competition From Tesla: EV giant Tesla launched its semi-truck in 2017 and delivered a few to PepsiCo Inc. in December 2022. A PepsiCo spokesperson told Benzinga in January that the company has a total of 36 Tesla Semis deployed in its fleet, some of which are based out of Frito-Lay's Modesto facility in California.
特斯拉的竞争：特斯拉于2017年推出了其半挂卡车，并于2022年12月向百事公司交付了其中的一部分。百事公司的一位发言人在1月份的时候告诉Benzinga，该公司共部署了36辆Tesla Semis于车队中，其中一些驻扎在加利福尼亚州Frito-Lay的Modesto工厂。
Tesla started delivering 50 more semi trucks to PepsiCo in May, expanding the total number of Semis in the beverage maker's fleet to 86 units.
特斯拉在5月份开始向百事公司交付50辆卡车，将饮料制造商车队的Semi总数扩大至86辆。
The Tesla Semi is still in pilot production at Tesla's gigafactory in Nevada. The company is currently building a high-volume Semi factory at Giga Nevada with the first vehicles planned for late 2025 after finalizing the vehicle's engineering with learnings from the company's pilot fleet as well as PepsiCo's fleet, Tesla executive Lars Moravy confirmed at the company's first-quarter earnings call last month.
特斯拉 Semi 目前仍处于试制阶段，在内华达州的特斯拉超级工厂正在试制高产量的 Semi，新工厂计划于2025年底投入运行，特斯拉高管Lars Moravy在公司第一季度业绩会上确认，该计划将借鉴公司的试制车队以及百事的车队对卡车进行工程设计。
Why It Matters: Nikola wholesaled 40 fuel cell trucks in the first quarter and produced 43 trucks. The company reported total revenue of $7.5 million in the quarter and a net loss of $147.7 million, down from the $169.1 million reported in the corresponding quarter last year.
尼古拉第一季度批发了40辆燃料电池卡车，生产了43辆卡车。公司报告第一季度总营收为750万美元，净亏损为1.477亿美元，低于去年同期的1.691亿美元。
Nikola initially began delivering battery electric trucks before its hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks. However, following a few fire incidents, the BEV trucks were subsequently recalled in August.
尼古拉最初开始交付电池电动卡车，之后开始交付氢燃料电池电动卡车。然而，由于出现了一些火灾事故，电池电动卡车随后被召回。
The company began the process of returning its recalled and reworked BEV trucks to customers in late March. In February, Nikola CEO Steve Girsky said that the company would restart BEV sales only once all the recalled vehicles were returned.
该公司已于3月底开始将召回并重新修复的电池电动卡车退还给客户。尼古拉首席执行官史蒂夫·吉尔斯基在2月份表示，只有在所有被召回的车辆都退还后，该公司才会重新启动电池电动卡车的销售。
