The shift to battery-electric medium-duty trucks is helping reduce emissions in one of the nation's most polluted regions, improving air quality and public health. CINCINNATI, March 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Workhorse Group Inc. (Nasdaq: WKHS) (“Workhorse” or “the Company”), an American technology company pioneering the transition to zero-emission commercial vehicles, today announced that Kingsburg Truck Center has been awarded a contract from the California Department of General Services (DGS) to supply Workhorse W4 CC and W56 electric commercial trucks to state agencies.

Additionally, the flagship W56, available as Class 5/6 step van or stripped chassis, boasts a 10,000-pound payload and 210 kWh of battery power, providing long-lasting performance and reliability for last-mile delivery and other commercial applications.
