In addition, we are thrilled to announce this dealer partnership with Smyrna Truck, expanding on our network for customers. We look forward to partnering with the Smyrna Truck team, who share our goal of delivering safe, reliable electric vehicles with the highest standard of service to customers.”

“We take pride in providing our customers the highest-quality truck equipment brands in the country, and we’re excited to welcome Workhorse’s innovative trucks to our list of trusted partners,” said Smyrna Truck President and CEO Scott Edens. “Through the many conversations and demos we’ve had with the Workhorse team, we have been extremely impressed with the standard and quality of its vehicles, including the W4 CC and W750. This partnership represents a significant catalyst in our company’s history, as we expand into the growing and important electric vehicle market.”
