Train Trailer chugging along
TORONTO, ONTARIO
Train Trailer announced recently that it has expanded its head office location in Bolton, Ont., as well as its Alberta and Quebec facilities.
All three relocations will increase workshop capacity, allowing Train Trailer to expand its service offerings in the Greater Toronto Area, Mon- treal and Calgary regions, the com- pany said in a release.
“The decision to significantly expand these three locations was not only the next step in our growth strategy, it was meant to help our customers in the retail, food, con- struction and heavy machinery spaces meet the ever-changing demands of their respective indus- tries,” said Rick Kloepfer, president of Train Trailer.
Located at 9601 Hwy. 50, in Bolton, Ont., the new head office is in the
heart of an emerging transportation and distribution hub and boasts a repair shop that is three times larger than its previous Mississauga loca- tion. The expanded space includes 18 service bays and double the amount of technical and maintenance staff.
The Alberta location was moved to a larger, more centrally located facility at 5500 Dufferin Blvd. SE, Calgary, increasing workshop capa- bility and doubling the number of service bays from four to eight. The number of mechanical staff tripled with a second shift added to speed up repair and maintenance times.
To be closer to Montreal, the Dor- val location was moved to 1111 Bou- levard Pitfield Saint-Laurent, Que. While the previous facility had no workshop, the new Pitfield location is home to three bays and a mainte- nance team of six. TN

Nikola claims US$12 billion in pre-orders
PHOENIX, ARIZONA
Hydrogen truck maker Nikola says it has raised another US$210 mil- lion and now boasts US$12 billion in pre-orders.
About $380 million of those were for the recently announced Nikola Tre European cabover.
“Once the Nikola Tre arrives in Europe, diesel will finally be on its way out,” said CEO Trevor Milton.
“Now that we are funded and over- subscribed, we are kicking it into high gear and preparing for Nikola World 2019. At Nikola World, you will see the USA Nikola Two prototype in action and be able to step foot in our Euro- pean Nikola Tre.”
The company says it will have hydrogen coverage across the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia by 2028. TN
