Alta eMobility, a provider of turnkey fleet electrification solutions, has announced its expansion with Nikola Corporation into two major markets: Northern Illinois and Florida. This partnership aims to provide customers in these regions with electrified fleet and workplace charging solutions. Through this agreement, Alta eMobility will be the exclusive provider of sales and service for the now available Class 8 Nikola Tre battery-electric (BEV) and the hydrogen electric vehicle, which will be available later this year. These two new locations will expand the company’s Nikola dealer network to 11 states across the United States.
The headquarters for these new territories will be located in Bolingbrook, Illinois, and Tampa, Florida. The expansion into Illinois and Florida will work in partnership with the existing sales and service that the brand’s parent company, Alta Equipment Group, is already providing to customers in both the construction and material handling spaces in each of these locations. This expansion allows both Alta Equipment Group and Nikola to further support their goals and those of their customers, helping them transition to more sustainable ways of doing business.
“The Nikola product line overlays nicely with our existing customer base and our footprint,” said Chris Comer, senior sales manager, Alta Material Handling. Illinois. “We constantly look for ways to add innovative products to our Solutions Center in Bolingbrook, where we are already offering electric and autonomous equipment.”
Fleets interested in upgrading their diesel Class 8 tractors to zero tailpipe emission eTractors can work directly with fleet electrification experts from Alta eMobility to explore how its turnkey electrification services can help them seamlessly integrate eTractors into their daily operations to help meet sustainability goals and increase overall profitability. The Alta eMobility team is also equipped with the expertise fleet owners need to navigate the hundreds of thousands of dollars in government incentives available to those wishing to make the switch from diesel to electric power. This includes the Inflation Reduction Act, which provides up to $40,000 in tax credits for commercial electric vehicle purchases and up to $100,000 for electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
For customers interested in exploring all the Nikola Tre BEV has to offer, Ride-and-Drives will be available throughout the year at the Illinois and Florida locations, and at all Alta eMobility locations. More information and a full schedule will soon be available on the Alta eMobility website.
This partnership between Alta eMobility and Nikola Corporation is a significant step forward in the transition to electric mobility and the development of sustainable transportation. The collaboration will not only provide customers with innovative solutions but will also help reduce emissions and improve air quality in the communities where they operate. It is a great example of how companies can work together to achieve common goals and contribute to a more sustainable future.
