Iveco will be responsible for the development of its electric and hydrogen trucks. Iveco will operate software that it could then integrate under licence into the jointly developed vehicles.

As for Nikola, it will also be able to use under license the technology of the Iveco S-Way. But also the electric axles trees developed by FPT (Fiat Powertrain Technologies).
