Xos receives another order from a linen delivery service in the USA
Mission Linen’s delivery of step vans will be some of the first 22′ body step vans from Xos, further expanding use case options for the Xos SV platform, writes the company.
Incidentally, Mission is not the first company in its line of work to turn to Xos. Alsco Uniforms reportedly ordered 30 electric vans for its laundry processing facilities in 2022 and also operates in Los Angeles.
Dakota Semler, Chief Executive Officer of Xos, said today, “Our electric step vans are setting new standards for the textile and linen industries, and we are confident that they will bring immense value to Mission Linen Supply’s operations.”
Mission is a commercial laundry company founded in 1930 and services the healthcare, hospitality, and industrial markets.
The company’s Vice President Tony Mancuso said, “Mission Linen Supply has always been at the forefront of incorporating sustainable practices in our business model, and integrating Xos’ electric vehicles is a natural extension of our commitment to provide environmentally friendly goods and services.”
Xos, active as Thor Trucks until 2019, is a Californian manufacturer of electric utility vehicles that presented the prototype of an electric truck in 2017 and was commissioned by UPS to develop an electric delivery truck a year later.
In 2021, FedEx ordered 120 electric trucks from Xos. The company also provides fleet services and software solutions besides manufacturing Class 5 through Class 8 battery-electric commercial vehicles.
In January 2024, Xos agreed to merge with Canadian manufacturer ElectraMeccanica to increase its sales of electric vehicles, especially zero-emission medium-duty electric trucks.
