Fluid Truck Orders 40 Additional Zero Emission Trucks from Lightning eMotors - Seite 2

“The Lightning-Fluid partnership provides a highly flexible arrangement for our customer operators and drivers,” said James Eberhard, founder and CEO of Fluid Truck. “This means that the vehicles can be used by other fleets when they are not needed by XPO Logistics or NAL Group. Electric vehicles already have a high ROI, and this makes that even higher because the utilization rates of these vehicles will be maximized.”

These last-mile delivery vehicles feature Lightning Analytics, a cloud-based telematics system that provides predictive maintenance, route scoring, range analysis, driver behavior, and geofencing for maximum range and efficiency.

“Lightning provides customers with the option to use a range of traditional OEM chassis or custom chassis,” said Kash Sethi, chief revenue officer of Lightning eMotors. “We are using a Ford chassis for these particular trucks, which provides the customer with a quality, safety-certified chassis that supports over 1,000 upfit options for boxes, lifts, shelving, flooring and interior systems, and provides the customer with the peace of mind knowing they have a well-established worldwide network for support, service and spare parts.”

Lightning eMotors is in the process of closing a business combination with GigCapital3, Inc. a special-purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, subject to approval by GigCapital3’s stockholders. Upon closing expected to occur this spring, the combined operating company will be named Lightning eMotors and will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The company will be listed under the ticker symbol [“ZEV”]. The agreement is expected to be completed during the second quarter of this year.
