Ohio-based commercial truck maker Workhorse showed off its W-15 electric truck – which could end up being the first electric pickup to market – in early May at the Advanced Clean Transportation Expo in Long Beach, California.
An executive says the company has now transitioned from having a concept vehicle to showcase and begun moving into production mode. That’s according to Workhorse’s business development manager John LaFleur, who added the company is deep into the engineering and design phase, currently finalizing elements like the chassis design and composite body structure.
