I’m thrilled they have selected the Hypertruck ERX as an avenue in reducing their carbon footprint as they continue to push forward with scalable sustainability initiatives,” said Thomas Healy, Founder and CEO of Hyliion.

By investing in green technology like the Hypertruck ERX, we’re able to take another transformative step toward a zero-emissions freight industry, and I look forward to seeing the impact these Hypertruck ERX units will have in further reducing our carbon footprint,” said James O’Leary, Vice President of Assets at NFI.
