What was announced

  • 4,000 binding pre-orders valued at more than $400 million.
  • Bimbo Bakeries USA, the U.S. arm of Grupo Bimbo, placed a multi-year order, mostly for electric step vans.
  • THOR Industries, the world’s largest RV manufacturer (Airstream, Jayco, Tiffin, Thor Motor Coach), ordered chassis for Class A motorhomes and took the first customer delivery in March 2024.
  • Dealer orders include Doggett Equipment Services Group (500 units), GATR Truck Center (500), ETHERO Truck + Energy (200), Campbell Supply (125) and Electric Commercial Vehicles (50), plus 40 units for Mail Management Services.
  • Harbinger also closed an additional $13 million in Series A funding, bringing the round to $73 million, to expand manufacturing ahead of commercial production.

“Harbinger’s product is so much better than anything else we have seen from the industry.”

— Jim Kane, Director of eMobility, THOR Industries

The platform

Harbinger builds a purpose-built electric stripped chassis for Class 4–6 applications: an 800V liquid-cooled battery scalable in 35 kWh steps to more than 200 miles of range, three wheelbases (158, 178 and 208 in), DC fast charging in about one hour and a design life of 20 years or 450,000 miles. Harbinger develops its own motors and battery packs, and chassis are completed by third-party upfitters as step vans, motorhomes, emergency vehicles and cutaway cabs – including SEVNA cutaway configurations.

Why it matters for fleets

Harbinger states that, after available U.S. federal incentives, its vehicles are priced at parity with comparable gasoline and diesel models. Orders from a major bakery fleet, the largest RV manufacturer and dealers covering most of the U.S. and Canada show broad demand for a ground-up electric medium-duty platform rather than converted combustion vehicles.
