The two companies have recently announced the joint development which will see JB Poindexter & Co. commercial truck bodies, utility truck bodies, and vehicle cargo management systems integrate with the Zeus Power Platform, an electrified cab chassis perfect for heavy-duty EVs.
“We have a proven history of creating and servicing excellent work truck and commercial vehicle bodies and accessories, and we are now expanding our capabilities to provide additional alternative energy solutions through this partnership with Zeus Electric Chassis,” said John B. Poindexter, CEO and Chairman.
The collaboration will first focus on the Zeus Z-19 (Class 5, 19,500 LB GVWR) and Z-22 (Class 6, 22,300 LB GVWR). These vehicles are all designed from the ground up and are planned to enter the market by 2022, and will be followed by the Z-26 (Class 6, 26,000 LB GVWR).
