Workhorse Group has added Eco Auto, its first dealer in the Greater Boston area, to its Workhorse Certified Dealer Network. Eco Auto is Workhorse's 13th dealer nationwide.

Located in the northwest Boston community of Tewksbury, Massachusetts, Eco Auto specializes in empowering businesses with sustainable commercial vehicle solutions.

Workhorse said Massachusetts is a key state for electric vehicle (EV) adoption, driven by the City of Boston's Massachusetts Offers Rebates for Electric Vehicles (MOR-EV) program, which makes it more cost-effective for fleets to transition to zero-emission vehicles. The program offers substantial rebates on the purchase or lease of electric trucks, with base voucher rebates ranging from $30,000 to $60,000 per vehicle. The program is available to private businesses, universities, nonprofits, and municipalities.

“Eco Auto is committed to lowering the barriers of entry to sustainable transportation, and we are excited about our partnership with Workhorse to continue to bolster our offerings in the commercial fleet electrification space,” said Al Salas, owner of Eco Auto. “It's an honor to be a pioneer in our market and we are looking forward to serving businesses and municipalities that are looking to reduce their carbon footprint here in New England.”

Eco Auto offers a comprehensive range of services, from purchasing electric and hybrid vehicles to evaluating energy solutions and providing expert EV maintenance. With the inclusion of Workhorse’s Class 4-6 electric work trucks, Eco Auto said it is positioned to deliver even greater value to its commercial customers.

“Our expansion into the Boston area with Eco Auto is a crucial step in growing our dealer network,” said Rick Dauch, CEO of Workhorse. “Partnering with dealers who are deeply committed to the EV space and the transition to alternative fuels is essential for our mission. Together, we aim to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles and support businesses in achieving their zero-emissions goals.”

Workhorse said the collaboration with Eco Auto marks a significant step in broadening the availability of zero-emission transportation across the Northeast. Workhorse provides dealers with comprehensive technical and vehicle maintenance training.

Additionally, certified dealers like Eco Auto invest in EV charging infrastructure, specialized tooling, and spare parts inventory to maintain high-quality service standards.
