SPRINGDALE, Ark. — J.B. Hunt Transport Services Inc. of Lowell on Friday announced that it has added 20 Nikola Tre fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) to its fleet for freight operations along the West Coast.
Several of the new FCEVs are expected to support J.B. Hunt intermodal operations in California and will primarily be utilized for port and drayage transport, the company said in a news release. The trucks will help alleviate growing shipper concerns over new requirements in the state aimed at reducing carbon emissions and adopting zero-emission vehicle technology.
J.B. Hunt customers can eliminate California emission fees and reduce their carbon footprint by scheduling zero-emission vehicle pick-ups and deliveries.
