The all-electric Route Star, which is built on a Ford F-59 stripped chassis, features 20% gradeability, 85 miles of range, and a 50% battery charge in 2.5 hours, according to the companies.
Motiv Power System, recently delivered the first all-electric walk-in van to linen delivery fleet AmeriPride Services’ Vernon, Calif., facility.
“Delivery trucks are central to America's economic health and by powering them with a Motiv all-electric powertrain, fleets gain some stability in their operating budgets, independence from fossil fuels and reduction of diesel particulate pollution in the communities they serve,” said Jim Castelaz, CEO of Motiv Power Systems.
