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.
沃爾瑪加拿大已將尼古拉公司(NASDAQ:NKLA)的氫燃料電池動力半掛車加入其車隊，公司稱這是該國第一家這樣做的大型零售商。
What Happened: The new truck will be deployed in Ontario for longer-haul trips, the company said.
新半掛車將在安大略省用於長途旅行，該公司表示。
"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.
沃爾瑪加拿大首席執行官岡薩洛·吉巴拉關於最新車輛的加入表示：“這是加拿大零售商的首次嘗試，也是我們一直推動技術變革、推動行業變革和激發變革的一個例證。”
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.
特斯拉的競爭：特斯拉於2017年推出了其半掛卡車，並於2022年12月向百事公司交付了其中的一部分。百事公司的一位發言人在1月份的時候告訴Benzinga，該公司共部署了36輛Tesla Semis於車隊中，其中一些駐紮在加利福尼亞州Frito-Lay的Modesto工廠。
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月份開始向百事公司交付50輛卡車，將飲料製造商車隊的Semi總數擴大至86輛。
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 目前仍處於試製階段，在內華達州的特斯拉超級工廠正在試製高產量的 Semi，新工廠計劃於2025年底投入運行，特斯拉高管Lars Moravy在公司第一季度業績會上確認，該計劃將借鑑公司的試製車隊以及百事的車隊對卡車進行工程設計。
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.
尼古拉第一季度批發了40輛燃料電池卡車，生產了43輛卡車。公司報告第一季度總營收爲750萬美元，淨虧損爲1.477億美元，低於去年同期的1.691億美元。
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.
尼古拉最初開始交付電池電動卡車，之後開始交付氫燃料電池電動卡車。然而，由於出現了一些火災事故，電池電動卡車隨後被召回。
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.
該公司已於3月底開始將召回並重新修復的電池電動卡車退還給客戶。尼古拉首席執行官史蒂夫·吉爾斯基在2月份表示，只有在所有被召回的車輛都退還後，該公司才會重新啓動電池電動卡車的銷售。
