One of North America’s largest mobile fleet
maintenance providers will supplement XL Fleet’s in-house customer
service team.
Partnership will expand XL Fleet’s service
capacity to support rapidly growing number of electrified customer
vehicles being deployed in 2021 and beyond.

leading mobile maintenance provider for medium and heavy-duty

to expand XL Fleet’s nationwide service capacity to support the
Company’s record growth of electrified vehicle deployments over the
past year, and its anticipated acceleration in 2021 and beyond.
As part of the partnership, Dickinson’s fleet of more than 700
mobile repair units and 800 repair and maintenance technicians will
be available to supplement XL Fleet’s in-house service team by
providing maintenance, warranty and service support for XL Fleet’s

hybrid and plug-in hybrid electric propulsion systems allow the
factory warranties of its customers’ OEM vehicles to remain intact,
and all of XL Fleet’s systems are additionally protected by a
standard 3-year, 75,000-mile warranty. Dickinson’s best-in-class
mobile maintenance technicians will be trained to provide field
support at XL Fleet customer locations throughout North America for
warranty and related service needs on the Company’s electrification
systems.
“XL Fleet has always prided itself on providing world-class
service and support to its customers, and Dickinson is the ideal
partner to help us build our service capacity with the same high
levels of quality as we scale our business,” said Brian Piern, VP
of Sales and Marketing at XL Fleet, who leads the Company’s
in-house service organization. “With XL Fleet systems installed on
over 4,300 vehicles in North America, and many more expected to
deploy this year, we need a partner who can efficiently and
effectively supplement our in-house service capability, and
Dickinson has the reach and experience to support our customers in
the best possible way.”
“Dickinson’s innovative mobile maintenance services have always
been on the leading edge of the fleet industry, and we are excited
to partner with XL Fleet as it continues to pioneer the fleet
electrification space and set the standard for deploying more
sustainable vehicles,” said Mike Dickinson, executive officer,
Dickinson Fleet Services. “Our technicians will provide valuable
support for XL Fleet as the Company continues on its rapid growth
trajectory, helping to ensure its customers continue to maximize
