Problem
The commercial vehicle industry needs durable, efficient, and environmentally friendly transportation options to reduce emissions and meet sustainability goals. Current electric vehicle offerings often involve adapting gasoline or diesel platforms, leading to compromised safety, durability concerns, and higher production costs.
Solution
Harbinger designs and manufactures specialized electric vehicle chassis and powertrains from the ground up, tailored for the commercial vehicle sector. Their proprietary electric platform is engineered for a 450,000-mile service life and features scalable 800V liquid cooled battery packs in 35kWh increments, allowing customers to purchase only the energy they need, up to a 200+ mile range. The company's vertically integrated approach includes in-house design and assembly of major vehicle systems like the powertrain, HV battery system, steering, and brakes, resulting in a higher-performing, safer, and more durable solution. Harbinger's chassis are designed to seamlessly integrate with popular medium-duty body types and offer improved driver experience and ergonomics, including autonomous-ready drive-by-wire steering and a low floor height.
Target Audience
Harbinger's primary customers include commercial vehicle dealers, specialty upfitters, and large fleet operators in the medium-duty vehicle segment, such as Bimbo Bakeries USA and THOR Industries.
