The provider of electrification solutions for commercial fleets has changed its name and expanded to meet the growing demand for medium-duty commercial EVs.
Fluid Truck, a national truck rental platform, will incorporate 600 Lightning Electric vehicles onto its platform, with availability starting in the fourth quarter.
Lightning Systems’ electric commercial vehicles are built on familiar chassis such as the Ford Transit 350HD, Ford E-450, Ford F-550, and Chevrolet 6500XD.
Lightning Systems, a developer and manufacturer of zero-emission commercial electric vehicles, announced the launch of Lightning Energy, a new division that offers charging technologies and services to commercial and government fleets.
The new Lightning Electric Ford F-550 will be available in gross vehicle weight ratings (GVWR) of 17,500 to 19,500 pounds, ideal for delivery trucks and shuttle buses.
Octillion Power Systems is collaborating with Lightning Systems to produce Class 6 electric trucks (up to 12.5 tons) capable of supporting “middle-mile” delivery logistics between warehouses and distribution centers.
Equipped with 192 kWh of high-energy-density, liquid-cooled DC battery storage in a package designed to be installed in a vehicle or trailer for mobile deployment, Lightning Mobile can be rapidly deployed to provide fast roadside charging to support the operation of electric fleet vehicles.
The Lightning Electric models are being provided to the hospital system by Wondries Fleet Group, a leading fleet dealer in California. All 12 are Class 3 delivery vans and were purchased under the terms of a California state contract.
Lightning Systems hosted its Lightning Day event at the Wondries Fleet Group dealership in Alhambra, Calif., which provided local fleet professionals with an opportunity to test some of the company’s products and featured presentations on how EVs can be incorporated into a fleet’s portfolio.
A collaboration between Plug Power and Lightning Systems enables both companies to offer an electric, fuel cell-powered Class 6 truck capable of supporting middle-mile delivery logistics between warehouses and distribution centers.
