The Shyft Group to debut last-mile electric delivery vehicle

The Shyft Group announced it will reveal its all-new electric delivery vehicle on their proprietary, purpose-built Class 3 EV chassis at the NTEA Work Truck Week trade show taking place in Indianapolis from March 8-10. Using the company’s proprietary Work-Driven Design process, the electric vehicle is a purpose-built walk-in delivery van that will reach a new benchmark in delivering optimal driver ergonomics and user experience. Vehicle prototypes are expected to reach customers for route testing in the coming months, with production expected to begin by mid-2023.

Shyft’s proprietary battery-powered chassis features customizable length and wheelbase, making it well-suited to serve a wide range of medium-duty trucks. The chassis’ modular design will accommodate multiple GVWR classifications, based on build-out and usage. The lithium-ion battery packs provide an approximate range of 150 to 175 miles with the opportunity to enhance range through expanded battery options.

Shyft is also helping customers in the transition to electric vehicle fleet management by providing a purpose-built, portable power cube, which will also be featured at the show. In addition, Shyft brands DuraMag and Utilimaster will also make news at Work Truck Week.
