GreenPower has unveiled its latest addition to its electric truck lineup, introducing the EV Star REEFERX, a medium-duty delivery truck equipped with electric refrigeration capabilities.
One of the standout features of the EV Star REEFERX is its optimized battery placement, resulting in a lower center of gravity that maximizes cargo capacity. Powered by a 118 kWh battery, this electric refrigerated truck boasts a range of up to 150 miles on a single charge. Moreover, it can DC fast charge in approximately two hours, with the option for wireless DC fast charging.
Designed for mid- to last-mile delivery, the EV Star REEFERX can transport temperature-sensitive goods such as fresh and frozen foods, flowers, and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, it offers PET (polyethylene terephthalate) foam that prevents water absorption in multiple thicknesses.
