Motiv showed off the F-59 chassis at The Work Truck Show 2020. The chassis was built to serve urban fleet delivery customers for parcel and delivery vans, school and shuttle buses. It features a shorter wheelbase and Motiv's modular battery system.
These trucks are on the road in some of California's most polluted areas and help eliminate toxic tailpipe emissions while serving their communities. Additionally, Aramark has ordered an additional several dozen Motiv-powered step vans to be deployed next year.
