SEA Electric can fit its SEA-Drive power-system to Hino Trucks’ M and L Series vehicles.
“This is another monumental day for SEA Electric in our quest to electrify the world’s commercial fleets, and move to a zero emissions future,” says SEA Electric chief executive and founder Tony Fairweather.
“SEA Electric has committed to building a business that is sustainable both environmentally and economically and we welcome the opportunity to expand our relationship with a global leader such as Hino Trucks to further develop and advance our technological offerings.”
Hino Trucks sees the announcement as expanding its range in a growing market. “As our industry introduces electric options, Hino Trucks can now offer an option for all the markets affected by the ACT mandate,” says Hino Trucks president Glenn Ellis.
The SEA-Drive powered Hino Trucks M5e and L6e models recently featured prominently at Work Truck Week, in Indianapolis, with the M5e made available for sampling in the “Ride and Drive” activity.
