Workhorse Electric Delivery Vans Arrive in Canada This Spring
Following approval from Transport Canada, EV startup Workhorse will be bringing the W56 and W750 model electric delivery vans to commercial truck dealers in Canada as early as this spring.
“This is a major step forward for Workhorse,” says Josh Anderson, Workhorse’s chief technology officer in a press statement. “Pre-clearance from Transport Canada opens up a large new market for our products throughout Canada, including with fleets that operate across borders in North America.”
It remains to be seen if and how the latest tariff-driven trade war between the Trump Administration’s US and Canada will impact Workhorse’s plans to expand throughout North America.

By Tristan Kruth, Head of Marketing, FuelCloud

These systems provide real-time monitoring, automated tracking, and integration with existing fleet platforms.
Since FuelCloud integrated with Fleetio last summer, customers have been able to directly compare vehicle operating costs, and in some cases, been able to provide drivers with specific day-to-day fueling instructions that ultimately reduce operating costs.
