USA-based zero-emission commercial vehicle provider Workhorse has secured purchase orders from three independent parcel delivery service providers for seven of its W56 step vans.
The W56 electric trucks, including both the standard 178in wheelbase and the new 208in extended wheelbase, are scheduled for delivery by the end of the year.
“As parcel delivery fleets transition to zero-emission vehicles, we believe the W56 is an ideal fit,” said Ryan Gaul, president of commercial vehicles at Workhorse.
“We understand the importance of uptime for parcel operators, especially during the busy holiday season. That’s why we back our vehicles with a robust service and support network through our certified dealers and national service partners, which helps keep trucks on the road and deliveries on time.
“Our W56 models are built for the real-world demands of last-mile delivery, offering effective range, cargo capacity flexibility, durability and reliability in every configuration.”
Designed, engineered and built in the USA, the Workhorse W56 step van is engineered to meet the needs of commercial last-mile delivery operations. With its efficient e-axle electric drivetrain and extended range aided by highly efficient regenerative braking, the W56 delivers efficiency, lower operational costs and a reduced environmental footprint.
