A company that specializes in the development of hybrid trucks has decided on Coolidge as the ideal spot to develop a manufacturing plant, less than a year after it announced it would build in a Valley city.
Nikola Corporation, which specializes in building pure electric and hydrogen-electric powertrains for big rigs among other endeavors, has announced that it will be developing a manufacturing facility in Coolidge.
The million-square-foot plant is to be located near Houser and Vail roads, south of the city core along State Route 87, and will produce hydrogen-electric vehicles designed for Class 8, or heavy truck, transportation.
