In addition, Master’s has complete service departments and a centralized parts department. This enables the company to provide service needs nationwide, as well as the ability to sell and install ZEVX’s intelligent EV power systems.

“In addition to developing the best EV power systems, ZEVX is partnering with the proven leaders in commercial transportation to sell, install and service our technology so that every existing commercial vehicle can help us economically reach our collective zero carbon goals,” said Don Listwin, president and CEO of ZEVX. "Given their reputation, sector experience, expertise, and national reach Master’s Transportation will be a key partner in modernizing today’s bus and van fleets.”

ZEVX offers a series of battery-electric powertrain and power system products that migrate Class 2-5 commercial fleet assets and auxiliary power tools to zero carbon. ZEVX’s platinum service mission starts with customers, operating through a deep partner network using existing automotive service infrastructure and tier 1 fleet management companies (FMCs).

“Our slogan, ‘Moving People Forward’ is at the core of everything we do,” said John Hatman, COO of Master’s Transportation. “Today, we welcome this partnership with ZEVX as the best way for us to help move our customers forward into an electrified future. A future where vans and buses run longer, cost less to operate and contribute more positively to the environment.”
