Harbinger Motors has introduced a new commercial vehicle cab designed to expand the range of bodies and applications that can be built on the company’s medium-duty electrified platform.
The HC Series Cab is built on Harbinger’s electric vehicle architecture and designed to support a wide range of commercial vehicle upfits. The new cab is intended for applications such as delivery trucks, service vehicles, and other medium-duty commercial uses. It was designed to give fleets and body builders a more flexible vehicle platform by pairing Harbinger’s electric and hybrid propulsion systems with a cab-forward vehicle design that can support multiple vocational body configurations.
The new offering will be available with both all-electric and hybrid powertrain options built on the company’s proprietary vehicle platform. The hybrid configuration uses a gasoline-powered range extender that generates electricity to recharge the vehicle’s battery when needed, supporting applications where daily driving distances or duty cycles may exceed the range capabilities of a fully electric vehicle.
Like the company’s existing stripped chassis platform, the HC Series Cab is engineered and manufactured in-house at Harbinger’s facility in Garden Grove, California. Harbinger notes the approach allows the company to maintain tighter control over vehicle design and production while reducing costs through vertically integrated manufacturing of key systems, including the electric drivetrain and battery components.
