LOS ANGELES, July 6, 2021 /CNW/ -- GreenPower Motor Company
Inc. (NASDAQ: GP) (TSXV: GPV) ("GreenPower"), a leading
manufacturer and distributor of zero-emission, electric-powered
medium and heavy-duty vehicles, today announced that it has teamed
with WeDriveU to add EV Stars to its electric shuttle fleet. As the
leader in transportation solutions for workplaces and campuses, the
purpose-built all-electric EV Star will be integral in the
expansion of WeDriveU's zero emissions fleet for customers across
the U.S. Greenpower expects to deliver the first EV Star to
WeDriveU in the current quarter with additional units planned by
the end of the calendar year.
Ryne Shetterly, Vice President of
Sales and Marketing at GreenPower, commented, "WeDriveU has demoed
our vehicle with accounts and the real-world data that was
accumulated was certainly helpful in making this partnership
happen." Shetterly added, "The EV Star will be deployed and in
service by the end of the year at one of the most recognizable
companies in the world and we believe WeDriveU is the catalyst that
will help grow similar relationships."
Tim Wayland, Chief Commercial
Officer at WeDriveU added, "Fleet electrification continues to
expand as major companies and universities are advocating for a
more sustainable approach. By securing vehicles and infrastructure,
WeDriveU is positioned to be the zero emission shuttle operator of
choice."
