Workhorse Group receives first fleet order for W56 step van

Workhorse Group announced it has received its first fleet order for the W56 step van from Mission Linen Supply. The initial 15-vehicle order is expected to be delivered in 2024. “This purchase order marks an important milestone for Workhorse as we commercialize our purpose-built Class 5/6 vehicle,” said Workhorse CEO Rick Dauch. “Following the start of W56 step van production in September, we were able to deliver a fully outfitted demo vehicle to Mission Linen Supply in just six weeks. The W56 performed well in field tests and their team quickly saw that we have engineered an incredibly capable and reliable delivery van. We look forward to working with both our dealer partner, Kingsburg Truck Center, and the team at Mission Linen Supply as they electrify their fleet.”
