GM CEO Mary Barra on Monday indicated that the business is standing with its own deal to make Nikola’s Badger pickup truck.

“The organization has worked with plenty of different partners and we are a really competent team which has completed the proper diligence,” Barra stated in a seminar with RBC Capital Markets on Monday.

GM is standing by Nikola despite recent revelations that the startup tricked the people regarding the capacities of its very first truck, the Nikola One. At its own 2016 unveiling, creator Trevor Milton asserted the Nikola One”fully works.” However, on Monday, Nikola confessed that the business never had a functioning prototype of their truck. The business acknowledged a 2018 promotional movie revealed the truck rolling down a shallow mountain –perhaps not pushing under its own energy.
