Several of the vehicles were shown in order to promote the work that Poindexter’s brands have done to design bodies which are better suited to the characteristics and demands of the electric driveline: one of these was ‘Project Blackjack’, a proof-of-concept vehicle with a lightweight and aerodynamic Morgan truck body.

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.
