USA – Battle Motors Inc of New Philadelphia, Ohio has signed a deal with Velocity Truck Centers (VTC) to offer Battle Motors' electric trucks through VTC dealerships across the United States, including California, Arizona, Nevada, and other states. This collaboration allows VTC to offer Battle’s class 7 and 8 e-trucks built on Battle Motors’ electric cab-chassis platform. This expands the company's national presence by leveraging VTC’s extensive dealership network. The partnership allows VTC to enhance its vocational truck offerings while supporting sales, service, and parts for Battle Motors’ products nationwide.
Battle Motors dates back to 1946, when it was called ‘Crane Carrier Company’ and was involved in the remanufacture of military vehicles for the construction and petroleum industries. It moved to chassis production in the 1960s and produced the predecessor of today’s ‘Low Entry Tilt’ cab-chassis in the 1970s.
