Workhorse Group is returning to Work Truck Week 2025 to showcase recent additions and preview what’s next in its expanding W56 electric vehicle platform. The W56 208-inch extended wheelbase step van will be part of Ride & Drive and the W56 140 kWh stripped chassis will be on display in the Workhorse booth. 

North America’s largest work truck event, Work Truck Week, returns to the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, March 4–7, 2025. More Than a Trade Show, Work Truck Week encompasses The Work Truck Show, Green Truck Summit, NTEA Annual Meeting, Work Truck Week Ride & Drive, educational sessions, and more.

“The 10 million real-world miles our vehicles have logged tell the true story of Workhorse's electric vehicle expertise,” said Ryan Gaul, president, commercial vehicles, at Workhorse. “We're proud to design and build our trucks right here in the Midwest, bringing advanced manufacturing jobs back to America's heartland. Unlike most EV makers, we design and build our Class 5-6 step vans completely in-house—from frame to final paint. More businesses are recognizing the real savings of switching to EVs, and we're proud to lead that change with American-made solutions that are built to last.”

Drive the Extended Wheelbase W56

Attendees can experience the W56 208-inch extended wheelbase step van firsthand in the Work Truck Week Ride & Drive. 

Engineered for increased cargo capacity, it recently completed durability testing simulating over 250,000 highway miles and is designed to tackle the toughest delivery and service routes. The vehicle features 1,200 cubic feet of cargo space and a custom rolling side door, providing quick, ergonomic access to the cargo area.

Preview the 140-kWh Version of the W56 Chassis

In its booth, Workhorse will preview the upcoming 140-kWh version of its W56 chassis, a strategic addition to the platform designed to meet the needs of fleet operators with shorter-range requirements.

With an estimated range of 100 miles, the 140-kWh version provides plenty of coverage for many single-shift local delivery routes. Workhorse said this efficient solution will offer attractive cost savings compared to the 210-kWh version, making it an appealing option for fleets looking to electrify while aligning with their operational needs. 

Workhorse is now accepting orders through its certified dealer network for the 140-kWh W56 stripped chassis, with deliveries set for 2026.
