Presented in association with the Center for Automotive Research (CAR), the Altair Enlighten Award honors the greatest sustainability and lightweighting advancements that successfully reduce carbon footprint, mitigate water and energy consumption, and leverage material reuse and recycling efforts.   

As the industry’s only award dedicated to vehicle lightweighting, the Enlighten Award drives automotive companies toward a more sustainable future. Altair is proud to recognize cutting-edge technological advancements that minimize energy consumption and carbon missions.

“The entire Nikola team is honored that our hydrogen fuel cell electric truck took the top spot in the sustainable product category,” said Michael Lohscheller, President and CEO, Nikola Corporation. “We believe that Nikola is on the right side of history with our Class 8 hydrogen fuel cell electric truck in a world where diesel trucks are starting to be phased out and strong regulations are being passed. This truck emits only water and features up to 500 miles of range, allowing customers to satisfy their ESG requirements with a true cutting-edge product that offers smooth and quiet operation.”

“The winners of the Enlighten Award showcase the latest revolutionary technologies and approaches that reduce carbon footprint, minimize waste, and maximize renewable energy,” said Richard Yen, Altair senior vice president, global industry verticals and sales enablement team. “We hope this award continues to inspire future generations to ‘think light’ for many decades to come.”

The 2023 Altair Enlighten Award winners were announced in an awards ceremony on August 1, 2023. For more information on the Altair Enlighten Award and to see the full list of winners, please visit https://www.altair.com/enlighten.
