Workhorse Group Receives Second Fleet Order for W56 Step Van
January 11 2024 - 8:30AM
Workhorse Group Inc. (Nasdaq:
WKHS) (“Workhorse” or
“the Company”), an American technology
company focused on pioneering the transition to zero-emission
commercial vehicles, today announced it has received its second
fleet purchase order for the W56 step van from a leading commercial
fleet operator. The 15-vehicle order is expected to be delivered in
2024 by Workhorse’s dealer, Kingsburg Truck Center.
The W56 provides a unique blend of high reliability, quality and
serviceability. The zero-emission delivery work van is designed to
meet the challenging demands of the commercial vehicle industry,
supporting benchmark payload capacity of up to approximately 10,000
pounds and with a range of up to 150 miles. The W56 step van also
offers a large 1,000+ cubic foot cargo box with lowered step-in and
wide cabin door for easier entry and exit. Built with the delivery
driver in mind, the cabin has been ergonomically designed while
still providing safety and comfort during even the longest
shifts.
“With this new fleet order, we are building momentum and ramping
up sales for our purpose-built Class 5/6 vehicle,” said Workhorse
CEO Rick Dauch. “This is our second conversion from a demo vehicle
trial to a sale for the W56 since we started production in
September. We have a number of fully outfitted demo vehicle
placements scheduled in the first quarter of this year and look
forward to successful performance of our incredibly capable and
reliable delivery van.”
