This could also open up additional options for logistics companies as the lack of noise and pollution will be less of a disturbance during off-hours. They’re also high on low-end torque, helping move heavy vehicles from a stop.īut since last-mile vans have set routes with limited mileage every day, and return to a central logistics center where they can recharge at night, limited range doesn’t really affect them much at all.įinally, electric last-mile transport should be a boon for residential and commercial areas, because it will reduce noise and pollution where people live. This causes a lot of stress to gas engines, but electric motors shine in start-stop circumstances due to regenerative braking and lack of idling. This is a big area of interest, because delivery vans are large, heavy vehicles that do a lot of starting and stopping and use a lot of fuel. This puts them in direct competition with Rivian’s Amazon delivery vans and other similar electric vehicles being developed now. Workhorse’s vans are “last mile” delivery vehicles, which means delivering from logistics centers to the package’s final destination.
While 6,320 doesn’t seem like an astounding number at first blush, it’s much larger than Workhorse’s planned production this year, which was around 1,800 units.ĭeliveries for Pride Group’s order are scheduled to begin in July 2021 and run all the way through 2026. The order comes from Pride Group Enterprises, a company that focuses on equipment sales, rental, and leasing for the logistics industry.
Workhorse Group, a company focusing on commercial sales of last-mile electric delivery vans, has received an order for 6,320 all-electric vans.
