Zion joins the company from another electric vehicle startup, Bollinger Motors, where he served as chief product officer.

Training initially in electrical engineering, Ujkashevic spent thirty-one years at Ford in multiple engineering, design, and innovation leadership roles.

Jim Castelaz, who founded the company back in 2009 and is now Chief Technology & Revenue Officer, described Motiv to T&BB as “Silicon Valley meets Motor City”.

Griffith takes over from Executive Chairman Matt O’Leary, who held the CEO role on an interim basis.

According to Motiv, the electric shuttle bus received an overall score of 89.1 out of 100, which it claims is the highest score ever achieved for a medium-duty electric bus tested in a 7 year / 200,000 miles or higher service-life category.

The 'Argo Series' cab was reportedly designed from the ground up, taking into account over 14 years’ worth of customer feedback.

Motiv Power Systems’ latest vehicles will be capable of achieving ranges up to 200 miles, even when fully laden with cargo or passengers, thanks to alterations made to powertrain components which the company developed together with its partners.

After Motiv Power Systems retrofitted five vans with an electric driveline in 2021, Purolator has ordered an additional 55 step vans, powered by electric drive systems assembled by Motiv Power Systems and fitted on Ford chassis.

Motiv Power Systems has announced that its sixth-generation electric truck exceeded 150 miles on a single charge using two Aries LFP battery packs supplied by Our Next Energy during a field test.
