In his career as a Wall Street analyst, an adviser to the United Auto Workers and a vice chairman of General Motors, Steve Girsky made his bones by unwaveringly telling the unvarnished truth to power.
As the CEO of struggling Nikola Corp., he retains his boldness.
“I think our prospects are great,” Girsky said in a Friday interview with FreightWaves. “I think 2024 is going to be the best year in the history of the company.”
It would not take much to accomplish that. After a litany of setbacks, the company’s cash is still tight. But it is at its highest level in 18 months. Nikola is producing fuel cell trucks at its plant in Coolidge, Arizona, and beginning deliveries to customers.
