SAN
DIEGO, April 16, 2024 /CNW/ -- GreenPower Motor
Company Inc. (NASDAQ: GP) (TSXV: GPV) ("GreenPower"), 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,
will participate in the San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E)
Electric Vehicle (EV) Fleet Day on April
19, at SDG&E Century Park Campus in San Diego, California. GreenPower will
showcase its product line of all-electric, purpose-built commercial
vehicles and school buses including the EV Star Cargo Plus,
the EV Star Stakebed Truck, the EV Star Passenger Van, the
Type D BEAST school bus and the Type A Nano BEAST school bus.
San Diego fleet operators and
managers will join SDG&E and GreenPower for the third annual EV
Fleet Day to experience the latest medium and heavy-duty electric
vehicles and explore an outdoor expo of solution providers.
Brendan Riley, President of
GreenPower, will be available to discuss the benefits of
GreenPower's all-electric, purpose-built, zero-emission commercial
vehicles and school buses and share information on how small fleet
operators can deploy all-electric commercial vehicles at a very low
cost of ownership. In addition, Riley can show attendees how
GreenPower is a one-stop-shop, offering customers a complete line
of truck bodies tailored to handle any job through GP Truck
Body.
Through the Company's California dealers, GreenPower vehicles are
eligible for the California Hybrid and Zero-emission Truck and Bus
Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP) and its Innovative Small E-Fleet
pilot (ISEF). "For many small fleet operators, the upfront costs of
purchasing an all-electric truck can be high," said Claus Tritt, Vice President of Medium-Duty and
Commercial Vehicle Sales. "Through HVIP and other available
vouchers, GreenPower's vehicles are available for a fraction of the
original cost, meaning that a fleet owner would be able to walk
away with an EV Star Cargo Plus through a GreenPower dealer for
less than $25,000, pre-tax. Events
such as EV Fleet Day provide an opportunity for fleet operators to
engage with the manufacturers and funding agencies so they can
understand the opportunities available to them."
GreenPower provides more durable, cleaner and safer
transportation alternatives to businesses looking to deploy
all-electric commercial vehicles including trucks and cargo vans.
With the recent launch of GP Truck Body, GreenPower now covers
every stage of the fleet experience, making the ordering process
more seamless and drastically reducing the time from order to
delivery to meet the customer's business needs. GreenPower's
innovative technologies can help businesses drive down operating
costs, minimize maintenance costs while delivering outstanding
reliability and efficiency.
EV Fleet Day Ride-Along
In addition to vehicle
displays and networking, attendees will have the opportunity to
participate in the EV ride-along experience to feel the power and
performance of an electric fleet vehicle firsthand. GreenPower's
EV Star Stakebed Truck, the EV Star Passenger Van with the
rear ADA option, and the Type A Nano BEAST school bus will be
available for the ride-along portion of the event that is open to
the public from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30
p.m.
