Zeus Electric Chassis signs dealer agreement with One Stop Truck & Equipment

Zeus Electric Chassis of White Bear Lake, Minnesota, and One Stop Truck & Equipment of Sacramento, California, are excited to announce their signing of Zeus’ first dealer agreement for their Class 5 zero-emission work trucks.

“Our joint challenge is to cut through the current clutter in the industry’s EV transformation 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,” said Zeus CEO Dave Stenson. “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.”

One Stop Truck & Equipment will be offering Zeus’ zero-emissions chassis paired with a conventional pickup-style cab. The aluminum cabs that go with the chassis are manufactured in the U.S. and designed with fire truck construction methods.

“The Zeus Z-19 Class 5 product fits [our customers’] needs,” said One Stop Truck & Equipment General Manager Daryl Trueblood.” We have already had many discussions validating the pent-up demand for this truck and are super excited that Zeus has partnered with us in their final development stages to deliver it.”

Zeus and One Stop are aiming to begin meeting the rising demand for zero-emission commercial vehicles starting in the State of California. Zeus anticipates this just being the start of a period of work truck ZEV adoption as long lifecycles, state incentives, and fleet adoption mandates create the necessary environment for fleets to start their transition into EVs for select applications, especially where cross country driving range is much less of an issue.
