USA – At Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo 2024 in Las Vegas in May, new American OEM Harbinger Motors Inc, based in southern California announced USD 400 million in (4,000 binding vehicle pre-orders) orders of its medium-duty “step van” chassis from the likes of Bimbo Bakeries USA and Thor Industries, the largest RV manufacturer in the world. Furthermore, U.S. CV dealers have placed significant orders, including Doggett Equipment Services Group (500 units), GATR Truck Center (500 units), Ethero Truck + Energy (200 units) and Campbell Supply (125 units).
The company has produced a patented proprietary electric platform (EV stripped chassis) that is sold to dealers that can then fit it with a CV body. Harbinger’s electric chassis is available in three different wheelbases, including 158 inches, 178 inches, and 208 inches, and in four different gross vehicle weight ratings (GVWRs), ranging from class 4 through 6.
