Workhorse secures orders for W56 electric step vans as demand increases

Workhorse Group recently secured purchase orders from three parcel delivery independent service providers for its W56 step vans. The new orders are for seven W56 electric trucks for parcel delivery, including the standard 178-inch wheelbase (1,000 cubic feet of cargo space) and the new 208-inch extended wheelbase (1,200 cubic feet of cargo space). All vehicles are scheduled for delivery by the end of the year.

Workhorse’s third quarter was active, with demonstrations performed at multiple parcel delivery terminal depots across California, where FedEx has installed and connected electric charging systems. Additional potential truck orders are now in the quoting process.

“As parcel delivery fleets transition to zero-emission vehicles, we believe the W56 is an ideal fit,” Ryan Gaul, president of commercial vehicles at Workhorse, said. “We understand the importance of uptime for parcel operators, especially during the busy holiday season. That’s why we back our vehicles with a robust service and support network through our certified dealers and national service partners, which helps keep trucks on the road and deliveries on time. Our W56 models are built for the real-world demands of last-mile delivery, offering effective range, cargo capacity flexibility, durability, and reliability in every configuration.”

Designed, engineered, and built at the Workhorse Ranch in Union City, Indiana, the W56 provides fleet operators with options tailored to specific operational requirements.
