Located in Germany, it currently owns a fleet of over 160 diesel-powered trucks with loading and unloading points in the Netherlands, Belgium, France and the United Kingdom.

Richter Group intends to transition their entire fleet to Nikola Tre hydrogen electric trucks over the next four to five years.

Richter Group and its partners may purchase or lease part or all of the Nikola Tre hydrogen electric vehicles through IVECO's all-inclusive electric truck rental model. IVECO will provide the essential maintenance and service functions.E.ON will provide Richter Group with green hydrogen and develop the refuelling infrastructure to meet the needs of the hydrogen electric vehicles brought to market.
