XL Fleet, a provider of electrification solutions for commercial and municipal fleets, launched a comprehensive new partner network with 27 professional fleet equipment installer companies throughout 96 individual locations in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. 

The new agreements expand the company’s ability to offer local sales and installation of XL Fleet’s electrification systems throughout North America, as demand for its hybrid and plug-in hybrid electric drive solutions has increased dramatically over the past two years, the company reports.

XL has customers in all continental U.S. states and Canada, and buyers throughout North America can now order their hybrid and plug-in hybrid fleet vehicles in one of three ways: from their local equipment installer, with a ship-thru code at their Ford or GM fleet dealer, or directly from their XL Fleet Regional Sales Manager.

“Interest in our hybrid and plug-in hybrid electric drive systems has never been greater, and we launched this network to provide more locally available options to meet that demand,” said Brian Piern, vice president of Sales & Marketing for XL Fleet. “As our product portfolio continues to grow, we will continue to expand our partnerships to make it easier for customers to electrify their fleets and meet their sustainability goals.”
