LOS
ANGELES, Aug. 22, 2023 /CNW/ -- GreenPower Motor
Company Inc. (NASDAQ: GP) (TSXV: GPV) ("GreenPower"), a leading
manufacturer and distributor of purpose-built, all-electric,
zero-emission medium and heavy-duty vehicles serving the cargo and
delivery market, shuttle and transit space and school bus sector,
today announced the appointment of Industrial Power Truck &
Equipment ("IP Truck") as its dealer for commercial all-electric
vehicle sales in North Texas.
"We are excited to add Industrial Power Truck & Equipment to
our nationwide dealer network for GreenPower's all-electric,
purpose-built commercial line of cargo and delivery vehicles," said
Claus Tritt, GreenPower's Vice
President of Medium-Duty and Commercial Vehicle Sales. "They are a
family-owned and operated commercial truck dealership that has been
serving the Dallas-Fort Worth
metroplex for more than 35 years. IP Truck's market coverage and
customer centric philosophy is a cornerstone of the operation, one
that is of extreme importance to GreenPower."
IP Truck has three locations in North
Texas – Fort Worth,
Lewisville and McKinney. Their commercial truck offering
ranges from box trucks to custom landscape trucks. "If you need it,
we sell it," said Brian O'Neil,
President & CEO of Industrial Power LLC. "The addition of
GreenPower's line of all-electric commercial EV Star vehicles will
be significant to meeting the demands of our customers who are
looking for sustainable options for their fleets."
GreenPower's all-electric, purpose-built medium-duty commercial
vehicle product line includes the EV Star for the shuttle and
transit space, and the EV Star Cargo, EV Star Cargo +, EV Star Cab
& Chassis, EV Star Refrigerated Truck and EV Star Utility Truck
to serve the cargo and delivery markets. The company's flagship EV
Star Cab and Chassis is the foundation for GreenPower's commercial
vehicle product line designed for mid and last mile delivery while
maintaining the benefits a zero-emission, purpose-built vehicle
offers.
O'Neil said that IP Truck's experience not only lies in
commercial sales, but also in service and parts. "Our dedicated
parts and service advisers are available six days a week to meet
our customers' needs," he continued. "Our entire philosophy
revolves around the idea of delivering the highest level of service
with the maximum amount of convenience."
IP Truck highlighted the new relationship with GreenPower this
week by exhibiting the EV Star Cargo van at the FleetCon 2023
conference in Loveland, Colorado.
The GreenPower all-electric, purpose-built 22' EV Star cargo van is
a Class 4 vehicle offering last-mile delivery capabilities. It has
a class-leading carrying capacity of 5,000+ pounds and up to a
150-mile range. The EV Star Cargo is made to be a delivery
solutions vehicle.
The completion of the appointment of IP Truck as a GreenPower
dealer remains subject to customary business registration and
related documentation.
