USA – Motiv Power Systems Inc, a manufacturer of medium-duty electric vehicles based in Foster City, California, has appointed Scott Zion as Chief Product and Engineering Officer, who brings with him more than thirty years of experience in the automotive industry.
Zion joins the company from another electric vehicle startup, Bollinger Motors, where he served as chief product officer. His startup experience extends also to Xos Inc, where he led engineering teams and the medium-duty vehicle business. “Medium-duty commercial trucks are especially well-suited for electrification given their relatively short-range use cases, predictable duty cycles and depot-based charging which avoids dependency on public charging infrastructure,” Zion commented.
