  • WattEV purchased 22 additional Nikola Battery-Electric Class 8 Trucks (BEVs)
  • These BEVs were acquired through Nikola’s new dealer, Next Generation Trucks

FONTANA, CALIFORNIA – December 31, 2024 – Next Generation Trucks Inc, proudly announces the sale of 22 Nikola Battery-Electric Class 8 trucks to WattEV, a Long Beach-based provider of heavy-duty truck charging infrastructure and electric Trucks-as-a-Service (TaaS). GTS Group joined the Nikola dealer network in October 2024.

These 22 BEVs build on WattEV’s prior purchase of 14 BEVs in 2023, underscoring the company’s commitment to expanding its zero-emission fleet. The additional trucks will enable WattEV to meet growing end-user demand and further advance zero-emissions transportation in California. WattEV is actively developing high-capacity public charging depots tailored for commercial BEVs while also providing electric trucks through its TaaS model to support shippers and fleet operators in meeting California’s stringent emissions regulations.

“As a new Nikola dealer, it’s essential for us to support trailblazers like WattEV as they drive the transition to zero-emissions,” said Amir Delvarani, CEO of Next Generation Trucks. “Together with Nikola and Next Generation Trucks, we are committed to fostering a cleaner future for the trucking industry through our growing partnerships.”

Next Generation Trucks, located at 14578 Valley Boulevard in Fontana, California, offers both Nikola Class 8 truck models—battery-electric and hydrogen fuel cell electric—and assists customers in obtaining local, state, and federal incentives.

“WattEV is proud to continue its long-standing relationship with Nikola with the addition of these 22 BEVs to our fleet,” said Umar Javed, Co-founder and President of WattEV. “As we approach the end of 2024, we remain steadfast in our mission to expand our zero-emissions fleet and drive sustainable transformation in the trucking industry.”

“Nikola dealers are the backbone of our business,” said Nikola President and CEO Steve Girsky. “We’re excited to strengthen our collaboration with long-standing customer WattEV through our new dealership, Next Generation Trucks. Together, we are reinforcing our shared commitment to advancing zero-emission transportation in California as we close out 2024.”
