Our take
Traditionally, commercial fleets and medium-duty vehicle operators have faced barriers such as high acquisition costs and limited options in the electric vehicle market. Harbinger aims to disrupt this landscape by developing an electric stripped chassis that specifically caters to the performance, durability, and lifespan expectations of Class 4 to Class 6 vehicles.
The company's focus on delivering an EV platform priced with zero acquisition premium addresses a key obstacle in the widespread adoption of EVs within the commercial sector. With impressive funding to its name, Harbinger Motors is ready to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of electric mobility for commercial and specialty vehicles; focussing on enhancing safety, driver experience, and overall vehicle operation.
