Published September 11, 2024

In a significant development for electric vehicle maker Workhorse Group Inc. WKHS, FedEx Corporation FDX, a global leader in delivery services, has placed a purchase order for 15 W56 model step vans. This move comes after the W56 model successfully met FedEx's stringent operational requirements in a series of tests. The order signals FedEx's continued commitment to integrating electric vehicles into its expansive fleet, aligning with broader sustainability goals.

Workhorse Group's Breakthrough with FedEx

WKHS has been focusing on innovation in the electric transportation sector, and this recent purchase order from FDX is a testament to their progress and the reliability of their W56 step vans. These vehicles are part of Workhorse's lineup, which is designed to offer a greener alternative to traditional fuel-powered delivery vans without compromising on performance.

Impact on the Market and Industry Players

The announcement is likely to have a ripple effect across the markets, potentially affecting the stock performance of not only WKHS and FDX, but also other related companies such as Douglas Dynamics, Inc. PLOW and Dorman Products, Inc. DORM, both of which are significant players in the commercial vehicle accessories and automotive aftermarket sectors respectively.
