Harbinger, the California-based electric vehicle manufacturer making waves in the commercial transportation sector, is kicking off production of its medium-duty, American-made electric vehicle platform, also known as a stripped chassis. Already the company has manufactured more than 100 units for customers.
This production milestone comes only four years after Harbinger, a TechNexus Venture Collaborative portfolio company, was founded in 2021.
"Our ability to design and move our vehicle into production this quickly is a testament to the creativity and diligence of our world-class team," Harbinger co-founder and CEO John Harris said in a statement.
Notably, THOR Industries, the world’s largest RV manufacturer and corporate partner of TechNexus, is among the first of Harbinger’s customers.
Harbinger’s strategic collaboration with THOR predates Harbinger launch, showcasing the confidence THOR had in Harbinger's vision for the future of commercial vehicles. This early collaboration led to the creation of the world’s first hybrid Class A motorhome, built on Harbinger's electric chassis. Combining electric power with a gasoline range extender, the hybrid motorhome gives RV enthusiasts up to 500 miles of range, all while remaining committed to sustainability.
Now, Harbinger is taking things a step further by ramping up production of its medium-duty electric chassis, designed for everything from delivery vans to emergency vehicles. Harbinger is also the only truck manufacturer building electric drivetrain systems; along with other major vehicle systems, the electric drivetrain will be included in the chassis.
The move comes at a time when electrification is gaining significant momentum across industries, including commercial transportation. The sector’s rapid shift toward electric vehicles is being driven by rising environmental concerns, stricter emissions regulations, and a global push for sustainability. Harbinger's electric vehicles, powered by drivetrains and high-voltage battery systems, are helping to lead this change, all while maintaining cost-efficiency through their vertically integrated production model.
With units already delivered to customers like THOR and ETHERO Truck + Energy, Harbinger is proving that electrification in the commercial vehicle sector is no longer a distant dream but a reality. The company also recently announced an order book of 4,690 vehicle orders valued at $500 million. The company is poised for even greater expansion—especially with a recent $100 million Series B funding round that will help scale production.
With its growing customer base and bold vision, Harbinger is not just keeping up with the electrification movement but driving it forward.
“We are producing vehicles at a volume and scale that is truly impactful for our customers and the industry,” Harris said.
