Xos, Inc. has announced its expansion in delivering 100% battery-electric stepvans to various independent parcel and delivery service providers located in Tennessee and California. This initiative has been made possible with the sustained partnership between Xos and Thompson Truck Centers, a prominent commercial truck dealer and an enduring dealer ally for Xos.
Why It Matters
Electrification in the transportation sector signifies a move towards sustainable and environmentally-friendly solutions. With companies like Xos leading the way in this domain, there is potential for a shift in how businesses perceive transportation, emphasizing the importance of reducing carbon footprints.
Key Points
- Several of these electric vehicles are headed for Richmond, California.
- A new facility equipped with 100 electric vehicle chargers has been inaugurated to cater to these vehicles.
- The new infrastructure will empower Xos’s medium-duty electric vehicles to cover extensive regions of Northern California.
- While some clients will be introduced to the new Xos vehicles, others will transition from nearby terminals where they previously utilized Xos Hub™, Xos’s mobile charging infrastructure solution.
Bottom Line
As highlighted by Xos VP of Sales, Jose Castañeda, customers are increasingly inclined to electrify their fleets, influenced by the overarching benefits and lower total cost of ownership. By expanding through its dealership network, Xos is not just offering these pioneering vehicles but also enabling a broader spectrum of businesses to access these benefits and optimize their fleet costs. This expansion not only underscores Xos’s commitment to promoting sustainable transportation but also projects a promising future for electric vehicles in the commercial sector.
