U.S.-based truck maker Harbinger announced that its medium-duty electric and hybrid-electric vehicles are now available for purchase across all provinces and territories in Canada. Indeed, the company is currently accepting orders through its Canadian dealer Safetek Specialty Vehicles.

Harbinger’s proprietary platform, also known as an electric vehicle chassis, is designed for walk-in vans, box trucks, recreational vehicles, delivery vans, emergency and disaster response vehicles and more. Electric step vans will be the first Harbinger trucks available in Canada, with more vehicle variants to follow.

Harbinger trucks headed to Canada

Canada’s federal EV policies include mandates for zero-emission vehicles to make up 35% of total new medium- and heavy-duty vehicle sales by 2030 and 100% by 2040. Canada has instituted the federal iMHZEV incentive program, which offers $75,000 in incentives per Class 4 and 5 vehicle, and $100,000 for Class 6. The program also offers 50% funding for hybrid range extended vehicles. Additionally, British Columbia and Quebec provide substantial additional provincial funding programs.

“The industry reception to Harbinger vehicles to date demonstrates a strong appetite for durable, affordable and environmentally friendly alternatives to supplement gas and diesel fleets,” said John Harris, CEO, Harbinger. “The need for EV options is amplified in Canada, where federal EV mandates are more aggressive. Our vehicles not only help Canadian companies meet these mandates, but they are also best-in-class medium-duty vehicles.”
