The commercial electric vehicle maker said to expect “a prolonged process to explore our options and possibly pursue further action” related to its failed bid to win the contract to replace USPS vehicles.
He previously led business strategy, product expansion and partnerships for Ryder as the company’s senior director of advanced vehicle technology and energy products.
An order for more than 6,000 Workhorse C-Series all-electric delivery vehicles was placed by Pride Group Enterprises, a Canadian and U.S. based company with businesses in transportation equipment retail, wholesale, rental, leasing, and logistics.
The maker of commercial electric vehicles won’t meet its projected production target of 300-400 vehicles in 2020 in part due to more than 36% of its production-related staff having contracted the coronavirus or quarantined awaiting results.
Ryder System, Inc., will begin offering the C-Series Workhorse all-electric step van through the company's ChoiceLease and SelectCare product lines, as well as for short-term rentals on COOP by Ryder.
Hitachi will provide an operational assessment of Workhorse's manufacturing, operational and supply chain capabilities, benchmark them to best-in-class standards and provide recommendations to support Workhorse’s increased production requirements.
Workhorse Groups’s C-Series all-electric delivery trucks have been deemed eligible for the Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP) program by the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
As part of the North America rollout, Ryder will place the first group of Workhorse C-1000 vehicles through COOP, a peer-to-peer truck sharing platform, connecting fleet managers to businesses that are looking to rent vehicles.
The executive order designates Workhorse as first and only medium-duty battery electric vehicle OEM to receive approvals from both the EPA as well as CARB.
According to Workhorse CEO Duane Hughes, the company has seen growing interest in its delivery drone as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
