GreenPower Motor Company announced that it delivered more than 120 vehicles during the fourth quarter that ended March 31, 2023, a substantial increase over previous quarters.
Headquartered in Vancouver, B.C., GreenPower Motor Company is a leading manufacturer and distributor of purpose-built, all-electric, zero-emission medium and heavy-duty vehicles serving the cargo and delivery market, shuttle and transit space and school bus sector. The majority of the deliveries were EV Star Cab and Chassis but also included EV Star Cargoes, EV Stars, EV 250 thirty-foot low-floor transit buses, and a Type D BEAST all-electric school bus.
“GreenPower demonstrates strong growth with our third consecutive quarter of record deliveries with more than 120 vehicles delivered to customers across the country. This increase represents a six-fold increase from a year ago,” said GreenPower CEO Fraser Atkinson. “We look forward to continuing building on the momentum with our current order book and strong demand across our entire product portfolio.”
Growing dealer network
During the quarter, GreenPower continued growing its dealer network for both school buses and commercial vehicles with announcements of K. Neal as a dealer for school buses in Maryland and Washington, D.C., and New England Truck Solutions for medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicles in Boston and Rhode Island. The dealer expansion in Boston and Rhode Island coincided with the announcement of GreenPower vehicles becoming eligible for the Commercial Clean Vehicle Credit of up to $40,000 under the Inflation Reduction Act.
GreenPower also delivered the first of its new all-electric, purpose-built refrigerated box truck in the fourth quarter. This revolutionary offering is unique as the unit gets its power directly from the high-voltage battery and the design is believed to be 20% more efficient and 10% lighter than any comparable low-voltage unit currently sold in the U.S.
“GreenPower continues to set the pace as a leader in innovation, design, manufacturing and delivery of purpose-built, all-electric medium and heavy-duty vehicles,” said GreenPower President Brendan Riley. “As we increasingly book new orders and consistently deliver these all-electric vehicles at accelerated rates, GreenPower separates itself from the field as a market leader.”
