With less than three weeks to go before the official unveiling of Workhorse's electric pickup truck in Long Beach, Calif., Workhorse has released the specifications of the W-15 pickup truck.
Workhorse intends to build the W-15 in its Union City, Ind., plant. The facility has the capacity to build 60,000 chassis a year. Subject to development, regulatory approval, and financing, once production commences Workhorse expects the W-15 to retail for $52,500. A drivable prototype of the W-15 will be unveiled at the Advanced Clean Transportation Expo in Long Beach, Calif., on May 2. Production models are scheduled for delivery in 2018.
Designed specifically to meet the needs of commercial fleets, the W-15 is believed to be the first plug-in, range-extended pickup truck built from the ground up by an original equipment manufacturer (OEM), according to the manufacturer. Preliminary specifications announced include:
- 75 MPGe fuel efficiency in all-electric operation.
- 80-mile all-electric range.
- Gasoline-powered range extender.
- 460 horsepower.
- 0-60 miles per hour in 5.5 seconds.
- True all-wheel drive (AWD).
- Collision-avoidance features including automatic braking and lane-departure warning.
- Composite body with carbon fiber.
- Double cab.
- Standard bed configuration.
The Workhorse W-15 light duty platform design is an extension of the E-Gen electric range extended technology used in Workhorse medium-duty delivery trucks. It will also feature a 7.2kw power export that allows tools to be plugged directly into the battery power source without the truck running. This existing medium-duty, delivery truck business has demonstrated low Total Cost of Ownership and dramatically reduced emissions.
