Nikola partners with ITD Industries to expand dealer network into Canada
Truck and energy company Nikola Corporation will expand its dealer network into Canada for its Class 8 truck sales and service coverage with the addition of ITD Industries, a commercial trailer manufacturer and technology business headquartered in Toronto.
ITD’s Toronto-based Nikola showroom and service operations will be integrated into its manufacturing facility and features 55-foot ceilings and more than 78,000 sq.-ft.
“Bringing ITD on board as our first Canadian dealer is an exciting move for Nikola. Canada’s zero-emission vehicle friendly environment for Class 8 trucks, fueled by attractive incentives and its ambitious carbon reduction goals, makes it a strategic market for the future of transportation,” said Nikola president and CEO Steve Girsky.
“At the heart of ITD is a commitment to sustainability and innovation. Our ability to now include Nikola’s Class 8 zero-emission trucks in our growing product line-up is the perfect complement to our investments in electric trailer technology and a natural next step in our company’s ambition to bring promising clean transportation solutions to the Canadian marketplace,” said ITD CEO Benny Di Franco.

Hi. Does Nikola feel that their FC ‘package’ is modular, and can be readily or easily scaled up and down for different types of power requirements and duty cycles?
