Pride Group Enterprises is a transport and equipment-leasing company based in North America. Recently, the company reserved another 150 units of the Tesla Semi Truck, the all-electric battery powered class 8 semi-truck, which was unveiled on November 2017 in Los Angeles.
"With support from one of our long-term financial partners, Hitachi Capital, we are very excited to bring this innovative product to our strong customer base, helping forge a new path in clean transportation.
