GreenPower Motor Company Inc. (NASDAQ: GP) (TSXV: GPV), a prominent manufacturer of zero-emission medium and heavy-duty vehicles, unveiled the EV Star REEFER X today. Built on GreenPower’s EV Star Cab & Chassis platform, this new refrigerated delivery truck is available for orders immediately.
The EV Star REEFER X is designed for mid to last-mile refrigerated delivery, catering to applications requiring temperature control, such as transporting fresh and frozen foods, flowers, and pharmaceuticals. Its body features a single interior wall structure, ensuring seamless sanitation, consistent insulation, and extended durability.
Brendan Riley, President of GreenPower, stated, “The EV Star REEFER X offers customers a unique, modern, and versatile all-electric commercial vehicle that boasts a higher payload capacity. Through this offering, we are able to provide fleet owners a reliable way to deliver refrigerated and frozen goods on daily routes. Combining exceptional performance and efficiency, the EV Star REEFER X is purpose-built to be an electric refrigerated vehicle, making it a superior product for a wide-use of applications requiring multi-temperature zones, without the sticker shock.”
The X Factor Advantage:
- One-Piece Box Design: Provides a modern look, ease of repair, quick assembly, and longer life due to consistent insulation.
- Multi-Temperature Zones: Accommodates various items with different storage temperature needs.
- Reduced Upkeep: Minimal seams allow for quick sanitation, reducing downtime.
- Extended Delivery Capabilities: Offers a range of up to 150 miles and a payload capacity of up to 5,500 lbs.
- Optimal Battery Placement: Lower center of gravity maximizes cargo capacity.
- Eco-Friendly Materials: Three-inch thick PET foam, made from recyclable materials, mitigates temperature variation.
- Customizable Refrigeration Options: Available in low or high voltage units with various insulation thicknesses.
- Multiple Door Options: Includes standard rear door, optional rear roll-up door, and side doors.
The EV Star REEFER X aims to improve total cost of ownership (TCO) for fleet owners by reducing vehicle downtime and simplifying maintenance. Brendan Riley further noted, “Federal and state regulations continue to drive the rapid adoption of all-electric commercial vehicles. The global refrigerated trucks market size reached $9.8 billion in 2023, and is expected to reach $15.4 billion by 2032. With California’s proposed regulation for all Transportation Refrigeration Units (TRUs) to achieve zero-emissions by the end of 2035, combined with the increasing demand from consumers for online shopping and home grocery delivery, a significant market opportunity exists for this vehicle. GreenPower is well-positioned to support the perishable goods category with a robust product offering and a well-established nationwide dealer network.”
