UNicola umemezele ukuthengiswa kwemoto yakhe kagesi ebhethri (BEV) kanye ne-hydrogen fuel cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) kwi-Alberta Motor Transport Association (AMTA).
Lokhu kuthengiswa kuqinisekisa ukwanda kwenkampani e-Alberta, eCanada, lapho i-AMTA ihlanganisa khona ukuthengwa kwayo nokusekelwa kokugcwalisa uphethiloli ukuze kuthuthwe imishini kaphethiloli ngokusebenzisa uphethiloli we-hydrogen kaNicola.
I-AMTA ilindele ukwamukela i-Nikola Tre BEV kuleli sonto kanye ne-Nikola Tre FCEV ekupheleni kuka-2023, okuzofakwa ohlelweni lokubonisa izimoto zezentengiselwano ze-AMTA ezisebenzisa i-hydrogen.
Lolu hlelo, olwaqalwa ekuqaleni konyaka, lunikeza abaqhubi base-Alberta ithuba lokusebenzisa nokuhlola imoto yezinga lesi-8 esebenzisa uphethiloli we-hydrogen. Lezi zivivinyo zizohlola ukusebenza kwezimoto ezisebenzisa i-hydrogen emigwaqweni yase-Alberta, ezimweni zomthwalo kanye nesimo sezulu, ngenkathi zibhekana nezinselele zokuthembeka kwamaseli kaphethiloli, ingqalasizinda, izindleko zezimoto kanye nokugcinwa kwazo.
“Sijabule kakhulu ukuletha la malori kaNicola e-Alberta bese siqala ukuqoqa idatha yokusebenza ukuze sandise ulwazi ngalobu buchwepheshe obuthuthukisiwe, sikhuthaze ukwamukelwa kusenesikhathi futhi sakhe ukuzethemba embonini kulobu buchwepheshe obusha,” kusho uDoug Paisley, uSihlalo weBhodi labaQondisi be-AMTA.
UMichael Lohscheller, uMongameli kanye ne-CEO yeNikolai, wanezela, “Silindele ukuthi uNikolai ahambisane nabaholi abanjengo-AMTA futhi asheshise lezi zinqubomgomo ezibalulekile zokwamukelwa kwemakethe kanye nokulawula. Iloli likaNicola elikhipha ugesi ongenayo igesi kanye nohlelo lwalo lokwakha ingqalasizinda ye-hydrogen kuyahambisana nemigomo yaseCanada futhi kusekela isabelo sethu esifanele sezinhlelo zokuphakelwa kwe-hydrogen ezingama-metric ton angu-300 ezimenyezelwe esidlangalaleni zeziteshi zokugcwalisa i-hydrogen ezingu-60 eNyakatho Melika ngo-2026. Lobu budlelwano buyisiqalo nje sokuletha amakhulu ezimoto zamaseli kaphethiloli we-hydrogen e-Alberta naseCanada.”
I-trebev kaNicola inebanga elifinyelela ku-530km futhi ithi ingenye yamatrakta amade kakhulu e-Class 8 asebenzisa ibhethri-kagesi angenawo ugesi. I-Nikola Tre FCEV inebanga elifinyelela ku-800km futhi kulindeleke ukuthi ithathe imizuzu engama-20 ukugcwalisa uphethiloli. I-hydrogenator iyi-hydrogenator enamandla amakhulu, enama-bar angu-700 (10,000psi) ekwazi ukugcwalisa ama-FCEV ngqo.
