About Nikola Corp

Nikola Corp. (ticker: NKLA) is a U.S.-based commercial vehicle company that was historically listed on the NASDAQ market in the United States before its 2025 delisting. Founded in 2015, Nikola was built around a disruptive thesis for heavy-duty transportation: commercializing zero-emission trucks and the related fueling and energy infrastructure needed to support them. The company’s headquarters is in Phoenix, Arizona, and its operations have been primarily centered in the United States. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1731289/000173128925000065/nkla-20241231.htm?utm_source=openai)) From a business-line perspective, Nikola focused on Class 8 commercial trucks, targeting metro-regional freight applications where battery-electric and hydrogen fuel cell technologies are intended to offer lower tailpipe emissions than conventional diesel powertrains. Its core product portfolio included the Tre BEV battery-electric truck and the Tre FCEV hydrogen fuel cell electric truck. In parallel, Nikola developed the HYLA energy brand to address the broader hydrogen ecosystem, including production, distribution, and dispensing solutions. That strategy positioned Nikola as more than just a truck OEM: it attempted to become an integrated truck-and-energy platform. ([nikolamotor.com](https://www.nikolamotor.com/about?utm_source=openai)) Geographically, Nikola’s commercial footprint was concentrated in North America, with customer deliveries and deployments in the United States and Canada. The company reported production and wholesale deliveries of hydrogen fuel cell trucks to customers in both markets, underscoring an early commercial reach but also highlighting the still-limited scale of operations.

In February 2025, Nikola and certain subsidiaries filed voluntary Chapter 11 petitions in the United States, and Nasdaq subsequently suspended trading and moved toward delisting. The company then announced plans to voluntarily delist and deregister, with the delisting becoming effective in April 2025. Nikola also disclosed that it intended to pursue a structured sale process for assets and continue only limited operations during bankruptcy proceedings, including certain service/support activities and some HYLA fueling activity through March 2025. In 2025, the company also disclosed settlement-related litigation developments, reflecting a highly complex restructuring environment.

Its legacy remains tied to the zero-emission heavy-truck theme, but the company’s public-market status on NASDAQ in the United States has ended and operational visibility is materially reduced.
