This is certainly a good story. glah

There has been a bit of news flow on Nikola recently including the following Bloomberg--ValueAct Capital Management has built a new position in Nikola Motor Co., a closely held hydrogen fuel cell trucking company seeking to raise $1.5 billion to expand in the U.S., starting on the West Coast. The firm invested $30 million to $40 million in Nikola prior to that fundraising campaign, according to ValueAct Chief Executive Officer Jeff Ubben. The precise stake is uncertain, though well less than 5 percent, he said. San Francisco-based ValueAct purchased shares from Nikola’s chief executive officer along with some early investors. https://fuelcellsworks.com/news/valueact-capital-management-makes-bet-on-hydrogen-fuel-with-nikola-motor/

Liking the way the conpany is going about its business lead by David Ryan. All looking good here.

thanks for posting

An interesting read on Hydrogen vs pure battery EV taken from ceres board. interestingly ceres use a licence model and are doing rather well https://www.theepochtimes.com/chinas-electric-vehicle-industry-hit-hard-by-sudden-policy-shift-as-beijing-turns-toward-hydrogen-fuel_2865743.html

Interesting article. thanks. No major fuss or drama with PPS.

Me too. No fuss or drama with CWR.

I am with you BB. Good news.

Hi Sturm, I got the data from market screener today. will see if i can find out the date but they are reasonably up to date i believe.

Interesting. Currently H2 from electrolysis. Toyota comes up with a compact, self-contained hydrogen fuel station Published 05 April 2019 Convenient hydrogen fuel supply throughout the country has taken a step closer to reality with a compact, self-contained hydrogen fuel station being trialled at Toyota's Motomachi factory in Japan. SimpleFuel™1 is a small, simplified hydrogen station that draws electricity from the plant’s solar panels for low-carbon hydrogen production using a water electrolysis process. The hydrogen is then compressed, pressurised and supplied to Motomachi’s fleet of fuel cell (FC) forklifts. Each station can produce up to 99Nm3/day (approx. 8.8kg/day) of hydrogen each day, enough to fuel seven or eight FC forklifts. Its compact dimensions allow it to be installed in small spaces, making it suitable for refuelling the forklifts within the plant. A hydrogen station has been operating on-site at Motomachi since March 2018, supporting an increasing number of FC forklifts. By introducing the extra fuelling provision, Toyota anticipates rising demand for hydrogen and also aims to reduce the factory’s carbon emissions. To reduce CO2 emissions from its plants, Toyota intends to replace its conventional forklifts with a new generation of machines powered by hydrogen fuel cells. This process began at the Motomachi plant with an initial two FC forklifts in 2017, followed by another 20 in 2018. With carbon-reducing subsidy support from Japan’s environment ministry. It has been possible to adopt SimpleFuel™ and 50 further FC forklifts. Obviously, the wider implication is a means of supplying hydrogen fuel cell road vehicles such a Toyota's Mirai , Hyundai's Nexo and Honda's FCX Clarity, making them a practical, environmentally friendly proposition for more owners and drivers. Unlike Electric Cars, no PMTs, CO, CO2 or NOx are created either in producing the fuel or in running the vehicles. The only emission is water. In line with the goals of the Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050, Toyota has been using hydrogen energy to develop and implement new technologies to make progress towards eliminating CO2 emissions from its manufacturing plants. The use of SimpleFuel™ and FC forklifts at Motomachi forms part of this strategy.

Thanks Dodger, I think i might sign up also and would welcome any feedback from the investor show from anyone who attends. glah

Well spotted Dodger. Certainly plenty of exposure at the moment and another investor show tomorrow. Note that one or two posters don't seem to welcome linked news and discussion to anything other than solid commercial updates. That is certainly one view which I accept but the thing is the links in the chain are important.

give it a rest. of course it has

There are a couple of links. They show the relevance of Toyota Tsusho. Absolutely relevant.

Another possibility could be that any funding is in the next tax year which starts on Monday. Just throwing that into the mix on a possible reason for delay of RNS.

As CB said BB a good post - thank you.

Venue for AGM could have been hired anywhere in London - interesting.

I see the location of the AGM as a positive.
