Workhorse W-15 Extended Range Electric Pickup Truck Begins Six-City East Coast Tour

CINCINNATI, May 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Workhorse Group Inc. (NASDAQ: WKHS), an American technology company focused on providing sustainable and cost-effective solutions to the commercial transportation sector, announced it will exhibit its new W-15 range-extended electric pickup truck during a six-city tour, kicking off on May 29 at the Greater New Haven Clean Cities Coalition in New Haven, CT.

"When we set out to create the W-15, we wanted to create the best pickup truck for fleets, and it just so happened to be electric," said Steve Burns, CEO of Workhorse.

The initial five cities the W-15 will make makes stops in are listed below:

• May 29: Greater New Haven Clean Cities Coalition; New Haven, CT
• May 30: RIPWA Ride and Drive; Warwick, RI
• May 31: City of Boston Mass DOT & City of Framingham; Boston, MA
• June 1: Green Your Fleet! Workshop; Concord, NH
• June 3-5: Electric Utility Fleet Managers Conference; Williamsburg, VA

The tour will conclude at an event in New York City in late June.

The Workhorse W-15 light duty design is based on the same platform technology used in the Workhorse N-GEN electric delivery van, and is the first plug-in range-extended electric pickup built from the ground up by an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) in America. With an expected 80-mile all-electric range using Panasonic 18650 Li-ion batteries, the battery pack will cover the vast majority of miles driven in a day by fleet operators. If needed, the range extender will activate to continuously charge the batteries, allowing additional unlimited range to complete the day's tasks.

The W-15 will also feature the ability for workers to power equipment directly from the vehicle's batteries, without the vehicle running, which allows a crew to complete their duties without an external power source. With the goal of being the safest pickup truck in America for fleet operators, the W-15's safety features include an extra large front crumple zone and crash mitigation technologies, including automatic braking and lane centering. Once production commences, the W-15 is anticipated to have a $52,500 MSRP.
