Vicinity Motor Corp. has partnered with Québec-based Omega Liquid Waste Solutions to upfit and resell the Company's VMC 1200 Class 3 Electric Truck with vacuum system used for sewer, septic tank, and grease trap cleaning.

Upfitting Electric Trucks
Omega has purchased and is upfitting a VMC 1200 with its vacuum solution that will be showcased at the Water & Wastewater Equipment, Treatment & Transport (WWETT) Show.
WWETT is an annual trade show for wastewater and environmental service professionals and is taking place in Indianapolis, Indiana from February 20-23, 2023. Omega intends to purchase additional vehicles for upfit and resale to its North American client base.
"The VMC 1200 is perfectly suited for urban environments and unique waste management applications like Omega's vacuum solution that services homes, restaurants, and businesses for waste collection and disposal," said William Trainer, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Vicinity Motor Corp.
"Omega's patented technology and remote-controlled hose deployment are already known for increasing productivity by setting each job in seconds and pairing it with our medium-duty electric truck utilizing proven EV technology and onboard power options will help to further efficiency gains and functionality.
"We look forward to introducing the upfitted model to attendees at the WWETT Show in February and helping Omega's sales team share the benefits of the VMC 1200 with its base of satisfied customers. With initial VMC 1200 deliveries now underway, we expect sales to gradually ramp up to meet the robust demand we are seeing for this versatile product line," concluded Trainer.
