Nikola Corp. is expanding its administrative and engineering staff as it anticipates manufacturing zero-emissions semitrucks in Pinal County several years from now.
The privately held company, which moved to the Phoenix area from Utah in July, now employs about 70 people in Chandler as it builds a new headquarters in Phoenix south of Sky Harbor International Airport, said Britton Worthen, chief legal officer.
Nikola plans to have about 100 employees by year’s end and about 200 by the end of 2019.
