Later this year, operators in the U.S. will have the opportunity to test and evaluate a pilot fleet of trucks in their own business operations.

The bucket truck was fitted with a ‘Hi-Ranger LT40’ aerial work platform from Terex which is powered independently of the vehicle battery, while the box truck was built by Marion Body Works.

The 'Proxima' is a Class 5 walk-in step van powered by REE Automotive's 'P7' modular platform, with a body built by Poindexter subsidiaries EAVX and Morgan Olson.

The two companies will jointly develop a new series of Class 4-6 electric trucks built on ZEC chassis and fitted with bodies by EAVX.

Vicinity Motor and EAVX will collaborate in developing Class 3 and Class 5/6 electric trucks for municipal fleet and walk-in van applications respectively.

REE Automotive has announced a strategic collaboration with EAVX, a wholly-owned business unit of US truck body builder, JB Poindexter & Co, to build light-duty e-trucks.
