June 27 (Reuters) - Nikola ( NKLA ) said it has

delivered a hydrogen fuel cell powered electric semi-truck to

Walmart Canada, making it the first major retailer in

the country to add it to its fleet.

Reuters reported in April Tesla Semi trucks were in

short supply for customers, including Walmart ( WMT ) and Pepsi,

and the companies were turning to rival electric-truck makers

for their fleets.

In June 2022, Walmart ( WMT ) said it was expanding transportation

pilots with manufacturers of electric, hydrogen and natural

gas-powered vehicles as part of its 2040 goal to achieve zero

emissions across its global operations, including its fleet of

roughly 10,000 tractors and 80,000 trailers.

Nikola ( NKLA ) said in May it delivered 75 of its hydrogen fuel cell

trucks in the first two quarters of production and completed the

delivery of its reworked battery truck at the end of the first

quarter.
