Zeus Electric Chassis and EAVX have announced they will join forces to develop and commercialize all-electric vocational work truck solutions. Joint development efforts will focus on integration of the JB Poindexter & Co (JBPCO) commercial truck bodies, utility truck bodies, and vehicle cargo management systems with the Zeus Power Platform, an all-electric cab chassis. Zeus will leverage JBPCO’s North American operational footprint to help establish a nationwide service and support network for the Zeus products.
The non-exclusive collaboration agreement will initially focus on the Zeus Z-19 (Class 5, 19,500 lb. GVWR) and Z-22 (Class 6, 22,300 lb. GVWR), and will expand quickly to the Z-26 (Class 6, 26,000 lb. GVWR) — all designed from the ground-up and available with a variety of cab options. Initial market penetration will utilize current and next-generation JBPCO body designs and will be available for commercial fleet pilot programs in 2022.
Zeus offers a fully configurable Class 4-6 all-electric vocational work truck cab-chassis. The core of their business model is to align with vocational work truck body manufacturers and enable them to bring EV solutions to industry fleets that can out-perform diesel counterparts. The Zeus power platform is a ground-up design that offers integration of both mechanical and engineered systems between the cab-chassis, body, and auxiliary functions, including a suite of telematics software solutions.
