Xos, a leader in electric commercial vehicles and mobile charging solutions, today unveiled the 2026 model year Xos Class 6 strip chassis at a starting price of $99,000.
The company said this pricing establishes a new benchmark for commercial fleet electrification, reflecting years of manufacturing scale, established supplier relationships, proven operational excellence, and a sustainable cost structure that makes the transition to electric accessible to fleets nationwide.
Xos said it has more US-deployed vehicles than any competitor in its segment. It has blue-chip customers, including UPS, FedEx, Cintas, and Loomis, and more than 1,000 vehicles and powertrains on the road that were manufactured in its Tennessee factory.

2026 Class 6 Strip chassis specifications include:
Class 6 Platform: 23,000-pound GVWR purpose-built for commercial fleet operations
Optimized Range: Approximately 120 miles engineered for return-to-base duty cycles and up to 200 miles on the extended range variant.
Advanced Telematics: Enhanced platform with 3 plus years of operational data, billions of data points monitored, and over-the-air update capability for continuous performance improvements.

Pricing Starting at $99,000. A sustainable price point achieved through manufacturing scale and supplier partnerships, not promotional discounting.
"The 2026 launch represents everything we've built at Xos over nearly 10 years of engineering innovation, supply chain partnerships, and manufacturing scale," said Dakota Semler, Xos CEO. "We're not the newest entrant making promises, we're a proven leader delivering results today. Our customers see it in the reliability of our vehicles, the sophistication of our telematics, and the strength of our manufacturing. At a $99,000 starting price, we're making commercial electrification accessible at scale, showcasing our operational efficiency, our supplier partnerships, and years of experience building at scale. At Xos we aren't just participating in this market, we're redefining it."
OTA Update Capabilities Added
The 2026 model year introduces enhanced over-the-air update capabilities that enable continuous performance improvements, optimized charging strategies, and predictive maintenance, all delivered remotely without vehicle downtime. Combined with industry-standard serviceable components, this approach delivers uptime and flexibility that proprietary closed systems cannot match.
LFP Battery System
Xos's LFP battery system prioritizes reliability, safety, and total cost of ownership over theoretical performance claims. Engineered for 4,000-plus cycle durability and commercial duty cycles, the platform delivers predictable economics that fleet operators trust for mission-critical operations.
Broad Development Footprint
With the broadest deployment footprint and most accumulated real-world mileage in the US, and through partnerships with some of the nation's largest fleet operators, Xos has established itself as the proven choice for commercial electrification. The 2026 model year launch reinforces this leadership while making the transition to electric more accessible than ever.
