CINCINNATI, March 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Workhorse Group Inc. (NASDAQ: WKHS), an American technology company focused on providing sustainable and cost-effective electric mobility solutions to the commercial electric transportation sector, today announced that the company has received a $7 million order for Workhorse all-electric delivery trucks, to be deployed in the Greater San Diego area.

"We have entered an exciting new phase of our production operations," said Duane Hughes, Workhorse President and COO. "We see this gross margin positive $7 million order as the first of many more electric truck orders to come."

These all-electric vehicles are being deployed by a major delivery company in the San Diego area. Like Workhorse range-extended electric trucks, the all-electric trucks are powered by Panasonic batteries, deliver a 100-mile range, offer significant fuel and maintenance savings, and provide uncompromised fleet performance.

Workhorse's ground-breaking technology redefines the economics of fleet truck use by improving mileage efficiency from an average of 5.5 MPG to more than 30 MPGe while significantly lowering the cost of fleet maintenance.

"Our proven electric truck platforms continue to garner customer adoption all across the country," continued Hughes. "We are excited to have these trucks destined for deployment in San Diego this year."
