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 the successful completion of a 1,000-mile journey in its W56 step van. Starting with a drive from the Workhorse Ranch in Union City, Indiana to the company’s headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio, the W56 then continued 940 miles to Orlando, Florida, covering a total of 1,028 miles. This real-world demonstration highlights the W56’s performance, reliability and durability as it arrives at the FedEx Forward Service Provider Summit after the three-day journey from Cincinnati.

The vehicle successfully navigated through various terrains and difficult weather conditions. Hurricane Helene brought strong winds and heavy rain during portions of the journey, and the W56 performed reliably, maintaining steady performance and durability. With a 150+ mile range and an average efficiency of 27 MPGe during this trip, supported by regenerative braking and fast charging at public Level 3 charging stations, the W56 showcased its ability to handle the demands of long-distance travel. The vehicle excelled in every situation, from traversing mountain passes to covering over 900 miles of long highway stretches, despite the limited regenerative assistance opportunities on highways.

“Our trip from Cincinnati to Orlando demonstrates that the W56 is built to meet our customers’ needs and the demands of their businesses,” said Ryan Gaul, President of Commercial Vehicles at Workhorse. “While we could have shipped the truck down to the Summit, we were able to use this opportunity to showcase the W56’s reliability, durability and capabilities. The truck handled well at every part of the journey, ran efficiently and charged quickly across our route. We look forward to showing the W56 off at the Summit, and to producing and delivering more of these game-changing vehicles to our customers.”

Workhorse’s participation in the FedEx Forward Service Provider Summit in Orlando represents a key opportunity to showcase how the W56 seamlessly integrates into last-mile parcel and package delivery fleets. This invitation-only event brings together FedEx executives, service providers, and vendors, providing Workhorse with a platform to demonstrate the W56's on-road performance, best-in-class service, and comprehensive support network. As an exhibitor, the W56 that completed the journey will also participate in demonstrations for three days in the event's Ride & Drive, highlighting how Workhorse is leading innovation and performance in the electric vehicle market.
