Workhorse W750 to be Showcased at the Georgia Clean Energy Roadshow by Electric Commercial Vehicles
CINCINNATI, July 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Workhorse Group Inc. (Nasdaq: WKHS) (“Workhorse” or “the Company”), an American technology company focused on pioneering the transition to zero-emission commercial vehicles, today announced that its W750 medium-duty EV will be showcased by Electric Commercial Vehicles (ECV), a Workhorse Certified Dealer, at the 14th Annual Clean Energy Roadshow. The event, which is hosted by Georgia’s Public Service Commissioner Tim Echols and is recognized as state’s largest showcase for alternative fuel fleet vehicles, will feature the W750 at three key locations: Riverside Epicenter in Austell on July 9, Savoy Automotive Museum in Cartersville on July 10, and Gwinnett Technical College North Fulton Campus in Alpharetta on July 11.
The Clean Energy Roadshow is Georgia's original and longest running new technology vehicle showcase and seminar. This premier event brings together a diverse group of stakeholders, including auto and bus manufacturers, utility partners, and fueling and charging infrastructure suppliers, all dedicated to advancing the adoption of clean energy vehicles.
As part of the Clean Energy Roadshow, ECV will showcase the Workhorse W750 medium-duty EV step van. Designed to meet the demanding needs of last-mile delivery, the W750 offers a zero-emission solution for a variety of applications with class-leading payload and range.
“The W750 delivers outstanding performance as a work-ready, all-electric commercial truck with immediate torque and more power than ICE vehicles,” said Omar B. Sandlin II, Director of ECV. “This unit is not only a vehicle which will significantly reduce the annual cost of ownership, it’s also enjoyable to operate and drive. The handling is super responsive, meeting the demands of the driver while providing comfort for the entire workday.”
“We are excited to have ECV showcase our W750 medium-duty EV at the Clean Energy Roadshow,” said Ryan Gaul, President of Commercial Vehicles at Workhorse. “Education is crucial to the adoption of alternative fuel vehicles, and events like this help fleet operators understand the benefits and practicalities of making the transition.”
The Clean Energy Roadshow is open to all fleet leaders, elected officials, metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), transportation directors, and private enterprise fleets. For more information about the event and to register, visit the event website.
