Nikola says Pablo Koziner will lead its hydrogen fuelling and battery charging business as president of Nikola Energy, while Mark Duchesne also joins as global head of manufacturing.

Koziner’s global energy and distribution services experience is derived from more than 18 years at Caterpillar, where he served as president of Solar Turbines, Electric Power VP and in various roles in North and South America, leading dealer relations.

As a 22-year veteran of Toyota and after five years at Tesla, Duchesne brings experience in the planning, development, building and operating of manufacturing facilities across the globe.

Duchesne’s recruitment comes as Nikola moves towards the production launch of its Class 8 Nikola Tre BEV in Ulm, Germany with joint venture partner Iveco and breaks ground on its Coolidge, Arizona, manufacturing facility.

“The addition of Pablo Koziner and Mark Duchesne to the Nikola executive team advances our ability to execute against ambitious manufacturing and infrastructure plans,” said Nikola CEO, Mark Russell.

“We have commenced strategic infrastructure and manufacturing work at locations across the globe and, with Pablo and Mark in place, we have the additional leadership to execute with even greater focus and discipline.”
