“This will be a phenomenal addition to our fleet. Not only does it showcase the future of electric vehicles and the ability to transition a large fleet to all-electric, but it also reduces our operating costs and greenhouses gases.”

Casey Fallon, Director of Fleet Procurement, SMUD

“The best upfit solutions start with a conversation. To make fleets more productive, we need to understand what our customer wants to do, and tailor our solution to meet their needs. As our customers explore opportunities with electric upfits, we need to define up-front their power needs via work and range. With the unique approach of the Zeus design, if more power is needed, more battery capacity can be incorporated into the chassis to meet the customer’s needs.”

Chris Weiss - Vice President of Engineering at Knapheide

“We are delighted to join this journey with Zeus to electrify the commercial fleet work truck market segment, and we’re excited about Zeus’ differentiated product. We continue to grow our portfolio as a trusted production partner for companies launching new products in the electrification space, and we’re eager to further expand our impact.”

Brandon Bartneck - Edison VP and General Manager

“Zeus is ahead of the crowd, because it has designed an electric work truck chassis that is broadly configurable for a wide variety of Class 4–6 applications. Unlike others, the Zeus cab and chassis system is engineered to both power and control a virtually unlimited number of third-party tools and equipment. Fleets get all the associated benefits of converting to electric vehicles, workers can continue to use the same truck-mounted equipment they’re familiar with. It truly is a game-changer.”

Mark Hope, President of EAVX

“We are extremely interested and excited about Zeus Electric Chassis trucks. Especially with the opportunity to lower our lifecycle cost with our large fleet.”

William M. Hoft, Executive Vice President, Ziegler CAT
