Loomis orders 150 more armoured EVs from Xos
In Los Angeles, USA, the electric commercial vehicle manufacturer Xos and cash handling company Loomis have signed a purchase order for 150 additional armoured electric vehicles.
Loomis, which is a large provider of cash and high-value item transportation services, began using electric vehicles in 2019 when it added 20 Xos armoured electric vehicles to its fleets. With this recent large order, Xos is installing charge points for the vehicles, as shown in the video below.
Xos, active as Thor Trucks until 2019, is a Californian manufacturer of electric utility vehicles that presented the prototype of an electric truck at the end of 2017 and was commissioned by UPS to develop an electric delivery truck in August 2018. In August 2021, FedEx ordered 120 electric trucks from Xos. The company calls itself a technology company since it also provides fleet services and software solutions besides manufacturing Class 5 through Class 8 battery-electric commercial vehicles.
Xos vehicles and fleet management software are purpose-built for medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicles that travel on last-mile, back-to-base routes of up to 270 miles or less per day. The company has also provided electric trucks for Alsco Uniforms and Merchants Fleet to date.
