Southern California-based dealership expands to include industry-leading Class 8 Nikola zero-emission trucks with the creation of their "NGT" division

FONTANA, Calif., Oct. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Nikola Corporation (NASDAQ:NKLA), a global leader in zero-emissions transportation and energy supply and infrastructure solutions, via the HYLA brand, has expanded in the southern Calif. market with the introduction of the "Next Generation Truck" (NGT) division of GTS Group as its newest sales and service dealer.

"We believe that Nikola has created the best Class 8 zero-emission trucks in the world, between the battery-electric and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles, with superior technology that will help drivers, fleet owners and companies meet their goals. Adoption of Nikola trucks into a fleet marks a significant step toward sustainability, and we are eager to contribute to a cleaner future for the trucking industry."

This additional dealer brings the number of Nikola sales and service locations up to nineteen locations across the U.S. as it rapidly continues to fulfill its commitment to the expansion of the distribution network.

"Nikola is committed to building a strong and comprehensive sales and service network to ensure our customers receive the best support for their zero-emission transportation needs," said Nikola President and CEO, Stephen Girsky. "Partnering with GTS Group strengthens our ability to deliver clean, efficient trucks while providing top-tier service and infrastructure solutions across Southern California."
