"GreenPower delivered 10 EV Star Cab and Chassis to the Canadian
unit of a global retailer who will upfit the vehicles for
fulfillment of orders to the end consumer in the greater
Toronto market," said Claus Tritt, GreenPower's Vice President of

financed by a Canadian leasing company. "The company will upfit the
vehicles with its own cargo box in order to facilitate last and
middle-mile home deliveries."
The all-electric GreenPower proprietary EV Star Cab and Chassis
was designed to take on any mid and last-mile delivery while
maintaining the benefits of being a zero-emissions vehicle. It is

range and set the new standard for zero-emission goods and people
transportation.
The EV Star Cab and Chassis went through final assembly and
