Workhorse has announced that its over 1,100 electric vehicles deployed to customers have surpassed a combined 20 million miles of in-service travel. We’re talking about all-electric trucks, shuttles and buses.

“Twenty million miles is a significant threshold which reflects not only the quality and performance of our vehicles, but the trust that our many repeat customers have placed in Workhorse. This achievement reinforces the view that medium-duty is the sweet spot for electrification,” said Scott Griffith, CEO of Workhorse. “Every day our vehicles safely and reliably transport the goods, packages and people that are the lifeblood of our economy, all with zero tailpipe emissions and pollution, helping to make life better for everyone along the route.”

Workhorse electric vehicles: the 7th generation is coming

The North American manufacturer is currently engaged in its 7th Generation (Gen 7) platform, a truly software-defined vehicle whose modular/building-block approach features a common set of scalable, interchangeable sub-systems.

The latter “will enable Workhorse to rapidly create new vehicle configurations without expanding engineering complexity. By commonizing modular subsystems and standardizing parts across classes 4-6, Workhorse believes it is continuing to extend its total cost of ownership advantage versus gas- and diesel-powered trucks and progressing to reduce unit costs to ultimately close the purchase price gap versus internal combustion trucks“.
