Nikola Motor Co. has provided a few updates on the Nikola One electric tractor the company expects to road test next year.

Via its Twitter account, the company says it is planning a “huge party/event” for customers, media and partners when the truck rolls off the test assembly line in 2018.

The company also says the hydrogen fuel cell powered truck will feature a 6×4 configuration that is compatible with a dual or super single tires. The steer axle, Nikola says, will feature a nearly 60 degree turning radius.

The tandem driveline, Nikola says, was engineered to handle a 30 percent grade loaded to 80,000 pounds at 0 mph standstill takeoff.
