“The electric and alternative power vehicle market is expanding rapidly,” says John Poindexter, CEO and chairman, JBPCO. “Coupled with immense pressure and mounting regulatory mandates for commercial vehicle and fleet compliance, we will provide support to both our customers and the electric and alternative fuel industry through this strategic new business offering. With our proven history of creating excellent work truck and commercial vehicle bodies and accessories, we will grow our legacy within the transportation industry as it reinvents itself through the next generation of electric and alternatively powered vehicles and advanced vehicle technologies.”
INTEGRATED SERVICES & CAPABILITIES FOR FLEETS
EAVX is led by CEO and General Manager Mark Hope, former vice president of engineering and business development at Morgan Olson, and also one of the leaders responsible for the launch of its award-winning electric step-van prototype unveiled at the NTEA Work Truck Show in 2020. Hope’s responsibilities include the continued development and growth of the company’s strategic partnerships and the design, engineering, and consulting services. This allows EAVX to identify and produce suitable EV/AV technologies for integration with JBPCO truck bodies and accessories. This also allows EAVX to develop prototypes and manufacture advanced chassis design projects for its fleet customers and partners.
Hope says that partnering with EV/AV technology suppliers and producers allows EAVX to offer integrated services and capabilities for fleets. Additionally, JBPCO wants customers to know they have a trusted and experienced partner helping navigate the EV/AV landscape, Hope says.
