REUTERS/Massimo Pincawho helped the company go public earlier this year said on Thursday his firm was comfortable with the due diligence performed on the startup that has been called a"fraud" by a short seller.

Nikola has come under attack from short-seller Hindenburg Research, which has alleged the company misled investors and large automakers over its technology in a scathing report that sent Nikola’s shares down. Nikola has rejected the accusations and threatened legal action. Girsky is head of VectoIQ, which took Nikola public through a reverse merger with a special-purpose acquisition company earlier this year. He is the former vice chairman of General Motors Co, which earlier this month took an 11% stake in Nikola and said the companies would join forces to build electric pickup trucks and hydrogen fuel cell commercial tractor-trailers.

“We brought an army of people in here. We conducted a thorough process,” he said on the FT webcast. “Personally, I’ve driven those trucks four times. I’ve driven on electricity. I’ve driven on hydrogen. I think they’re awesome trucks.”
