CINCINNATI, June 23, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Workhorse Group Inc. (NASDAQ:WKHS), a last-mile delivery technology company that is an original equipment manufacturer of medium-duty, battery-electric trucks and fully integrated unmanned aerial delivery drones, was featured in the media recently.

On June 22, Steve Burns, CEO of Workhorse, was interviewed on Business News Network (BNN). Speaking a day after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) published new rules governing the operation of commercial drones in the U.S., Mr. Burns outlined the advantages of package delivery using the company’s Workhorse E-GEN™ electric truck and HorseFly UAS delivery drone.
