Workhorse Group Inc. to Unveil W-15 Electric Pickup Concept Truck at ACT EXPO in May 2017

The new Workhorse W-15 light duty platform design is an extension of the E-Gen electric technology used in Workhorse medium-duty delivery trucks.  With an expected 80 mile battery range using our proven battery packs, the Workhorse W-15 light duty design expects to provide economical, clean and powerful performance. 

If needed, the on-board gasoline generator will then operate after battery power has been depleted, allowing fleet drivers unlimited range to complete the days' tasks.

Believed to be the first plug-in range-extended electric pickup truck built from the ground up by an OEM, the W-15's goal is to be the safest pickup truck on the market with its large frontal crumple zone and low center of gravity.

The Workhorse W-15 electric truck is expected to lower emissions. In developing the W-15, our goal is to deliver lower total cost of ownership (TCO) to fleets through lower fueling and maintenance costs.

Millions of pickup trucks are sold in the United States each year and pickup trucks are a leading vehicle platform of choice for fleets.  The electric powered W-15 represents an opportunity to bring fuel savings and emissions reduction to the streets of America without sacrificing functionality. 

Fleet operators and managers are invited to see the working concept electric pickup at ACT EXPO in Booth # 1435, May 1-4, 2017. On hand will be Workhorse engineers to answer questions and present the vehicle.

Fleet managers who would like additional information are directed to contact Jeff Esfeld at [email protected] or 206-228-5400.
