Nikola Corp

VectoIQ Acquisition Corp, the blank-check vehicle whose de-SPAC transaction created Nikola Corporation (Nasdaq: NKLA), priced its initial public offering in May 2018 under the sponsorship of VectoIQ LLC. Targeting the commercial transportation and clean-energy sector, VectoIQ closed its merger with Nikola Motor Company in June 2020, forming Nikola Corporation, a developer of hydrogen-electric and battery-electric heavy trucks for the commercial freight market. The combined entity began trading on the Nasdaq under the ticker NKLA following the transaction's close. Nikola subsequently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in February 2025 after sustained operational and financial headwinds.
