Workhorse awarded Sourcewell contract for zero-emission commercial vehicles

Zero-emission commercial vehicle maker Workhorse Group was awarded a Sourcewell contract to produce Class 4-8 chassis and cabs with related equipment, accessories, and services. This allows Workhorse to expand its reach to government, educational, and nonprofit sectors within all 50 states and Canada.

Sourcewell is a government agency created by the Minnesota legislature as a local unit of government and serves as a service cooperative. Sourcewell streamlines the procurement process and combines the purchasing power of numerous agencies into a single cooperative group. Workhorse was awarded a Sourcewell contract following a request for proposal process resulting in contracts that meet, or exceed, local procurement requirements.

As an awarded contract supplier, Workhorse has joined a group of vendors approved to serve Sourcewell’s network of members across the U.S. and Canada. Sourcewell participants now have streamlined access to Workhorse's portfolio of all-electric medium-duty vehicles, including the W56 step van, W750 step van, and W4 CC cab chassis.

“We are honored to be awarded by Sourcewell as an approved provider,” said Ryan Gaul, Workhorse president of commercial vehicles. “Sourcewell's streamlined purchasing process satisfies the legal requirement of the traditional bidding process, enabling our customers to quickly and efficiently acquire zero-emission vehicles that meet their operational requirements. Municipalities across the nation are leading the way in the transition to zero-emissions fleets, and this contract will allow Workhorse to work with them efficiently to deploy the vehicles they need to meet their plans.”
