Ohio,United States-Workhorse Group Inc., an America Technology company has started the manufacturing of chassis for W56 electric vehicle's, now being produced at the Company's Union City, Indiana manufacturing facility. The W56 Electric Vehicle is the first purpose-built, completely designed Class 5/6 model chassis platform created from the ground up by the company.

The W56 offers cutting-edge features that will help us grow as we try to hasten the adoption of commercial EVs. Customers are very interested in the W56, and we think we will be able to get firm orders in the fourth quarter and beyond. I want to express my gratitude to our amazing team for their ongoing dedication to the design, testing, sourcing, manufacture, and assembly of the W56 and our vehicles, all of which will serve to advance our success.
The W56 offers an exceptional fusion of high quality, serviceability, and reliability.

The W56 step van also features a sizable cargo box with a capacity of 1,000+ cubic feet, a lowered step-in, and a wide cabin door for simpler entry and egress. The interior has been ergonomically constructed with the delivery driver in mind to ensure safety and comfort throughout even the lengthiest shifts.
