Already in production in the USA, the European 4x2 version of the so-called Nikola Tre battery-electric tractor is to be built by Nikola Iveco Europe GmbH, the Iveco-Nikola joint venture manufacturing plant in Ulm, Germany. This purpose-built facility came online in 2021 and features a final assembly process designed for electric vehicles.
