“We continuously strive to lead our industry by delivering our products in the most sustainable way possible–including by investing in the cutting-edge technology of our logistics partners,” said John Rogers, who oversees sustainability and procurement operations for Anheuser-Busch. The beermaker said deliveries with hydrogen and electric trucks are part of a push to cut its U.S. carbon emissions by 25% by 2025.
Nikola is also trying to move past a rocky couple of years triggered by fraud accusations against departed founder Trevor Milton, which brought an extensive SEC investigation. The company agreed to pay a $125 million fine to resolve the matter. Milton, who resigned as Nikola’s executive chairman in September 2020, has been indicted by the Justice Department, charged with lying about the company’s technology and market readiness.
