Xos, Inc., a leading fleet services provider and manufacturer of Class 5 through Class 8 battery-electric vehicles, today announced it has secured a purchase order from AUSEV Pty Ltd (“AUSEV”) for one stripped chassis and has started conversations on working towards a manufacturing and distribution partnership in Australia. Upon receiving the stripped chassis, AUSEV will collaborate with Xos engineers on design and manufacturing issues specific to the Australian right-hand drive (“RHD”) market.
“We are excited to form partnerships with international companies such as Xos to provide heavy vehicles to the RHD market,” said Terry Mulcahy, Head of Future Business at AUSEV.
“Australia presents an exciting growth opportunity for Xos that we’re looking forward to exploring,” said Jessica Savage, Head of Distribution at Xos.
“Establishing RHD electric vehicle manufacturing in Australia is critical, and this partnership looks towards the future of that reality,” said Brendan Kenny, Head of Operations at AUSEV.
