About the Company

Xos Trucks

Electric trucks, charging, and fleet management

Xos Trucks provides electric trucks for medium- and heavy-duty fleets, especially parcel deliveries, along with the charging infrastructure, energy solutions, and a fleet-management platform called Xosphere. How it works: the company sells electric trucks and bundles them with charging hardware and energy services, and offers a customized electrification plan that includes ongoing maintenance and vehicle servicing. The Xosphere platform lets customers monitor and manage their fleet remotely, while the company’s services cover installation, maintenance, and support to keep fleets running. How it’s different: instead of focusing on just vehicles, Xos Trucks offers an end-to-end solution that combines trucks, charging, energy management, and a dedicated fleet-management platform with tailored planning and ongoing service. What’s the goal: to make switching to electric trucks easier and cheaper for commercial fleets, helping customers reduce costs and meet sustainability goals.
