Workhorse Group said its E-GEN electric vehicle platform has surpassed 10 million cumulative miles. This milestone, Workhorse said, underscores its commitment to engineering durable, reliable electric vehicles.

E-GEN: Company’s Entry into Commercial EVs

Manufactured in Union City, Indiana from 2015-2018, the Workhorse E-GEN platform remains a testament to long-lasting design, with over 200 trucks still in active service. 

These vehicles have collectively logged more than 10 million miles, which Workhorse said demonstrates the quality and reliability that have become hallmarks of the company’s approach to vehicle development. Subsequent vehicle designs have incorporated key advancements in technology, performance, and durability. 

Engineering That Set the Stage for the W56

These innovations have led directly to the company’s flagship W56 platform, which embodies years of engineering refinement to meet the rigorous demands of modern last-mile delivery and medium-duty fleet operations.

“The journey from the E-GEN platform to the W56 truly highlights Workhorse's leadership in zero-emission commercial transportation,” said Josh Anderson, chief technology officer at Workhorse. “By constantly improving its technology and learning from its vehicles, Workhorse is setting new standards for reliable, durable, sustainable solutions that meet the needs of today's fleet operators.”

W56 Step Van Receives Praise

Customers and partners have praised the 100% electric W56 step van for its reliability, versatility, and overall performance. With a class-leading payload capacity, advanced safety features, and a range of up to 150 miles, the W56 meets the demands of modern last-mile delivery and medium-duty fleet operations.
