About this update from Workhorse Group, Inc.
DETROIT, May 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Workhorse Group Inc. (NASDAQ: WKHS) ("Workhorse" or the "Company"), a North American OEM and provider of all-electric trucks, step vans, shuttles and buses, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. Today’s results represent the Company’s first full quarter as a combined company following the completion of its merger with Motiv Electric Trucks in December 2025. “Reflecting back on the first quarter, I am pleased to report we are continuing to deliver on our commitments, controlling what is controllable, and positioning Workhorse for sustained growth,” said Scott Griffith, CEO of Workhorse. “We believe a strong product-market fit exists in the medium duty segment, with numerous large fleets already deploying electric vehicles at scale, making this $23 billion commercial vehicle market near a tipping point of an electric transition.

Toward that end, Workhorse has developed a plan for a new, proprietary “modular” chassis design that will be produced exclusively at its Union City manufacturing plant. The new chassis design will be based on the foundational learnings gathered from proven W56 components but with a scalable architecture that supports flexible wheelbase conf...
