The company reports that more than 1,100 Workhorse vehicles—including delivery trucks, shuttle buses, and service vehicles—are currently operating in customer fleets. Those vehicles are used across a range of climates, from hot desert environments in the U.S. Southwest to colder Canadian regions.
According to Workhorse, the accumulated mileage has displaced roughly 2.3 million gallons of gasoline and avoided about 45 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions.
For the broader fleet sector, the milestone offers a growing pool of operational data as companies evaluate electric drivetrains in applications where routes are predictable and vehicles typically return to a central depot for charging.
Most Workhorse vehicles are deployed in last-mile delivery and service operations—segments where uptime, route reliability, and total cost of ownership tend to shape purchasing decisions.
The growing mileage across those fleets has provided insights into several operational areas, including battery behavior, vehicle uptime, charging strategies, and route planning. Feedback from fleet operators has also informed areas such as technician training, cold-weather performance, and maintenance practices.
Additional real-world data comes from Stables by Workhorse, a subsidiary that operates as an independent service provider for FedEx Ground. By running electric step vans alongside conventional internal-combustion vehicles within the same delivery routes in Ohio, the operation provides a direct comparison of performance, reliability, and operating costs between drivetrain types.
This side-by-side operational environment allows the company to evaluate how electric trucks perform under the same service demands as traditional vehicles.
Lessons from those fleet deployments are feeding into Workhorse’s next vehicle architecture. The company is developing what it describes as a seventh-generation platform built around a modular, software-defined electric vehicle system.
The platform is intended to support multiple commercial vehicle types—including step vans, box trucks, shuttle buses, and refrigerated vehicles—across medium-duty Classes 4 through 6 using standardized components.
By consolidating subsystems and components across different vehicle configurations, Workhorse aims to simplify manufacturing and improve scalability. The approach is also intended to narrow the upfront cost gap between electric and diesel trucks over time.
The platform is being designed to accommodate future technology updates as well, including software-driven performance improvements, advanced safety systems, and potential autonomy features.
Workhorse currently manufactures its W56 and EPIC4 electric vehicles at its facility in Union City, Indiana. The vehicles are sold through a network of dealers and service partners that provide maintenance and support for commercial fleets.
Several large fleet operators have already deployed the trucks, including companies such as Purolator, Vestis, Cintas, and a number of FedEx independent service providers. As more operators gather operational experience with electric trucks, interest in the medium-duty EV segment appears to be steadily increasing.
