Zeus Electric Chassis, a Minnesota-based electric truck chassis-cab manufacturer, has signed a dealer agreement, its first, with One Stop Truck & Equipment of Sacramento, California, to distribute Class 5 electric work trucks.
Zeus offers a Class 5 electric chassis paired with the conventional pickup-style cab that is dominant in the work truck sector. The made-in-the-USA aluminum cab has design origins in fire truck construction methods. This enables fleets to use their existing OEM body partners, system integrators and upfitters for such medium-duty applications as aerial lift/bucket trucks, mobile utility trucks, box trucks, shuttle buses, type A school buses and dump trucks.
Zeus CEO Dave Stenson said, “Our joint challenge is to serve a core customer with a product that doesn’t require them to completely change how they move operators, tools and materials to and from job sites and function while there. The upfitter industry has served these fleet customers for decades, optimizing their work truck vocational products. Zeus and One Stop want to provide the ZEV chassis to build on that, not force customers to accommodate new chassis dimensions or cab styles.”
