GARDEN GROVE, Calif., and HOUSTON (March 15, 2026) — Harbinger, an American automotive and industrial manufacturer, and Frazer, a leader in mobile healthcare solutions, today announced a strategic partnership to advance the future of mobile healthcare. Frazer will leverage Harbinger’s plug-in hybrid vehicle chassis and battery technology to electrify emergency medical response vehicles and create next-generation mobile healthcare products. As part of Frazer’s long-term alignment and shared commitment to the partnership, the company has also made a strategic financial investment in Harbinger. In return, Harbinger is investing time, engineering expertise, and development resources to support Frazer’s expansion into next-generation electrified mobile healthcare platforms. 

“At Frazer, we believe the future of healthcare should deliver exceptional medical care directly to the patient, rather than simply transport the patient to care,” said Laura Griffin, CEO, Frazer. “This partnership with Harbinger demonstrates Frazer’s move beyond the traditional ambulance model and into a mobile healthcare solutions provider that supports new care delivery models. Hybrid-electric vehicles offer a practical first step toward electrification in emergency and medical environments, while preserving full operational readiness and clinical reliability.”

The Frazer and Harbinger collaboration will include multiple next-generation mobile healthcare products:

• Hybrid-electric emergency medical services (EMS) platform: An emergency medical response vehicle built on Harbinger’s hybrid chassis to support mission-critical reliability, clinical grade power redundancy, and drastically reduced operational complexity.
• Hybrid-electric mobile healthcare unit: A mobile healthcare platform built on Harbinger’s hybrid chassis to support care delivery outside traditional fixed location facilities, supporting community centered care models, hospital system extensions, and other emerging use cases.
• Advanced auxiliary power systems: Next-generation power storage solutions based on Harbinger’s advanced battery technology, providing clean, stable, and redundant power for field medical care in both hybrid and internal combustion engine vehicles.

Both Harbinger and Frazer are committed to U.S. manufacturing. Harbinger designs and manufactures its electric and hybrid chassis in-house at its California headquarters, including all major vehicle systems such as the powertrain, battery system, steering, brakes, and more. This vertically integrated approach keeps costs low and provides a higher-performing, safer and more durable solution than electric vehicles built upon existing diesel and gasoline platforms. Frazer proudly produces its products in Houston, Texas.

“Through this partnership, Harbinger is entering the mobile healthcare and emergency medical response market for the first time,” said John Harris, Co-Founder and CEO of Harbinger. “Our proprietary platform was designed from the ground up as a modular foundation to support a wide range of commercial and specialty applications. In mobile healthcare, redundancy, uptime, and operational flexibility are non-negotiable, and our platform is built to deliver the reliability this market requires.”

Fully electric vehicles have struggled to meet the complexities of emergency medical operations due in part to charging constraints, unpredictable duty cycles, and power redundancy. Hybrid systems offer a practical and immediately deployable solution. Harbinger’s hybrid offering leverages its proven electric chassis, and pairs it with a gas-powered range extender that recharges the battery when needed. This architecture enables significantly reduced emissions during extended idling, stable and redundant power delivery for onboard medical equipment, and simplified energy management, without disrupting existing workflows and patient care.

Demand for mobile healthcare is accelerating as health systems face capacity constraints, workforce shortages, and rising costs. For this reason, mobile healthcare is a critical complement to hospitals and medical care centers. Today, there are only a few thousand mobile clinics nationwide. That number is expected to triple or more by 2030 as health systems are seeking lower-cost, more scalable healthcare delivery models. 

This partnership addresses the clear need for purpose-built mobile healthcare platforms that can deliver reliable, lower-emissions operation without compromising mission-critical readiness. Frazer will begin engaging customers, partners, and industry stakeholders on the collaboration at the Fire Department Instructors Conference (FDIC) from April 20-25, 2026. Participants will have the opportunity to check out the Harbinger hybrid-electric chassis at the Frazer booth #5074.

Expansion to the Canadian market helps fleet owners meet aggressive Canadian EV mandates

GARDEN GROVE, Calif., Oct. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Harbinger, a leading medium-duty electric and hybrid vehicle manufacturer, today announced that its medium-duty electric and hybrid-electric vehicles are now available for purchase across all provinces and territories in the Canadian market. The company is currently accepting orders through its Canadian dealer Safetek Specialty Vehicles, and is focused on expanding its Canadian dealer network.

Harbinger’s proprietary platform, also known as an electric vehicle chassis, is designed for walk-in vans, box trucks, recreational vehicles, delivery vans, emergency and disaster response vehicles and more. Electric step vans will be the first Harbinger trucks available in Canada, with more vehicle variants to follow. Trucks are the fastest-growing segment in Canada’s electric vehicle (EV) market. As of 2024, the market is valued at approximately $15.8 billion CAD, and it is projected to nearly triple to $40.8 billion CAD by 2030. The overall Canadian commercial vehicle market is valued at $23.7 billion.

“The industry reception to Harbinger vehicles to date demonstrates a strong appetite for durable, affordable and environmentally friendly alternatives to supplement gas and diesel fleets,” said John Harris, CEO, Harbinger. “The need for EV options is amplified in Canada, where federal EV mandates are more aggressive. Our vehicles not only help Canadian companies meet these mandates, but they are also best-in-class medium-duty vehicles.”

Canada’s federal EV policies include mandates for zero-emission vehicles to make up 35% of total new medium- and heavy-duty vehicle sales by 2030 and 100% by 2040. Quebec leads the Canadian market in EV adoption, with EVs comprising 36.7% of new vehicle registrations in 2022. In order to meet these mandates, Canada has instituted the federal iMHZEV incentive program, which offers $75,000 in incentives per Class 4 and 5 vehicle, and $100,000 for Class 6. The program also offers 50% funding for hybrid range extended vehicles. Additionally, British Columbia and Quebec provide substantial additional provincial funding programs.

“As a Canadian who has worked my entire career in the automotive and EV space, selling vehicles in Canada is a milestone for me,” said Phillip Weicker, Co-Founder & Chief Technology Officer, Harbinger. “When we founded Harbinger, our goal was to build the best medium-duty vehicles and they just happen to be electric.”

The Best Medium-Duty Vehicle on the Market

Harbinger’s vehicles are purpose-built from the ground up to be electric and to serve the rigorous needs of the medium-duty segment including last-mile delivery, municipal operations, commercial fleets, and more. Harbinger’s all-electric and hybrid vehicles are engineered for durability, modularity, and ease of service. To prepare for harsh winter climates, Harbinger vehicles underwent extensive cold-weather testing on snow and ice in New Zealand to ensure dependable performance in the most extreme conditions.

Harbinger’s electric chassis includes all major vehicle systems, which the company designs and manufactures in-house, including the powertrain, battery system, steering, brakes, and more. This vertically integrated approach keeps costs low and provides a higher-performing, safer and more durable solution than electric vehicles built upon existing diesel and gasoline platforms, which is common in the industry.

Once assembled, Harbinger’s chassis is delivered to dealers or customers who work with a third-party to upfit the chassis with a commercial or specialty body, as is standard in the medium-duty vehicle industry. Morgan Olson and Utilimaster will be the third-party upfitters for Harbinger step vans in Canada. Harbinger is the only electric truck maker that manufactures its own motors and battery packs, which is a more cost effective and tailored solution than integrating off-the-shelf systems. Additional key highlights of Harbinger’s electric vehicle includes:

• Total Cost of Ownership (TCO):
  • Harbinger vehicles have a lower total cost of ownership compared to diesel equivalents thanks to reduced energy consumption, minimal maintenance requirements, and extended vehicle lifespan.
• Industry-leading 10-year warranty, including:
  • 5-year full vehicle warranty
  • 10-year coverage on battery, motor, and frame
• Modular architecture offering best-in-class flexibility in wheelbase and battery configuration:
  • Three available wheelbases: 158″, 178″, and 208″
  • Battery options to match duty cycles:
    • 140 kWh – up to 225 kilometers (140 miles)
    • 175 kWh – up to 281 kilometers (175 miles)
    • 210 kWh – up to 338 kilometers (210 miles)
• Responsive acceleration with up to 13,400 lb-ft of torque at the wheel
• Industry-best 12.8 meter turning diameter to better navigate tight streets, enabled by independent front suspension

Electrifying the Medium-Duty Segment

Harbinger estimates that fully electric vehicles make sense for approximately 80% of medium-duty applications today, especially ones that are focused on last-mile deliveries. These are the vehicles that are used for single shifts with repeatable routes, and can return to their facility to charge overnight with cost effective level 2 charging. For the remaining 20%, Harbinger offers a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle with up to 804 kilometers (500 miles) of range for commercial medium-duty fleets.

Harbinger’s hybrid vehicles serve use cases with longer routes, unpredictable days, or limited charging access. Harbinger’s hybrid solution leverages its proven electric chassis, and pairs it with a gas-powered range extender that recharges the battery when needed. Customers get the same electric performance, such as instant torque and smooth handling, but with the added benefit of additional range. This enables Harbinger trucks to service a new array of use cases from delivery vehicles on multi-shift schedules, to cross-country trips, and middle-mile distribution.

• 4,000 binding pre-orders from customers including Bimbo Bakeries USA; the world’s largest RV manufacturer, THOR Industries; postal service operator, Mail Management Services; leading North American commercial vehicle dealers; and more.
• Harbinger formally announces it raised one of the hardware industry’s largest-ever Series A rounds, which closed at $73 million in Q4 2023.
• The company announces its North American network of premier dealers, which is already positioned to serve 78% of the population in the U.S. and Canada, and continues to grow.
• The new orders and funds are catalyzing rapid growth around the manufacturing and commercialization of Harbinger’s innovative electric vehicle chassis.

LAS VEGAS and LOS ANGELES, May 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Harbinger, a Southern California-based electric truck manufacturer, announced today at ACT Expo its order book, which includes 4,000 binding vehicle pre-orders from customers and is valued at more than $400 million. This includes a substantial multi-year order from Bimbo Bakeries USA, the U.S. business of Grupo Bimbo, the world’s largest baking company, and producer of iconic brands including Sara Lee Bread®, Thomas’®, Entenmann’s® and more. Harbinger also received orders from the world’s largest recreational vehicle (RV) manufacturer, THOR Industries, known for its operating companies which include Airstream, Jayco, Tiffin and Thor Motor Coach. Additionally, commercial vehicle dealers have placed significant orders including two of Freightliner’s largest dealers Doggett Equipment Services Group (500 units) and Campbell Supply (125 units); as well as other dealers, GATR Truck Center (500 units); ETHERO Truck + Energy (200 units); Electric Commercial Vehicles (ECV), an affiliate of Smyrna Truck (50 units) and more. Postal service operator, Mail Management Services has also placed an order for 40 units, among others.

The company has also announced it closed an additional $13 million in Series A funds in Q4 of 2023 from venture and strategic investors, including additional funding from the Coca-Cola System Sustainability Fund, managed by Greycroft. Previously, the company announced it had raised $60 million in Series A funds, bringing the new Series A total to $73 million and marking one of the largest Series A rounds for a hardware company. Harbinger will use the additional funds to continue expanding its manufacturing capacity and launch its commercial start of production in Q4 of 2024.

“While other new entrants struggle to fill their order pipelines, we have extensive pre-orders and backed-up demand for our medium-duty electric vehicles,” said John Harris, CEO, Harbinger. “We are laser focused on the medium-duty vehicle segment, where there is a huge variety of vehicles built on chassis like ours including walk-in vans, box trucks, recreational vehicles, delivery vans, school buses, emergency and disaster response vehicles and more. Today, most manufacturers are adapting gasoline or diesel vehicles to electrification, rather than building a ground-up electric platform. This compromised approach leads to concerns with vehicle safety and durability as well as higher production costs, which is why we chose to start fresh with a clean sheet design.”

A Premier Network of Partners and Dealers

Part of Harbinger’s strategy is to build a holistic network to support the launch of its electric medium-duty trucks, including a nationwide network of service providers, charging and infrastructure development partners, and premier dealers. The company’s premier dealer network, which already serves 78% of the population in the U.S. and Canada and continues to expand, includes the following among others:

• Campbell Supply
• Doggett Equipment Services Group
• EBY Ford
• ETHERO Truck + Energy
• EV Choice
• GATR EV, a division of GATR Truck Center
• Hendrickson Fire
• Electric Commercial Vehicles (ECV), an affiliate of Smyrna Truck
• Safetek Specialty Vehicles (Canada)

“Demand outstrips supply for the entire medium-duty category as we have a multi-year backlog for electric, diesel and gasoline vehicles,” said Scott Campbell, Owner, Campbell Supply. “Electric vehicles have a big place in the market and that segment is only going to continue to grow. Harbinger’s electric trucks are a true industry changer. They offer superior acquisition and operating costs, enhanced safety features, and a driver-friendly design, all while delivering zero tailpipe emissions.”

Seasoned Team, Clean Slate Design

Harbinger is led by a management and technical team that hails from Tesla, Rivian, Ford, Anduril, SpaceX, Toyota, Honda, Volvo Trucks, Mack Trucks, and more. Harbinger has created a proprietary electric platform, also known as an electric vehicle stripped chassis, from the ground-up. It includes all major vehicle systems, which the company designs and assembles in house, including the powertrain, high voltage (HV) battery system, steering, brakes, and more. This vertically integrated approach keeps costs low and provides a higher-performing, safer and more durable solution than electric vehicles built upon existing diesel and gasoline platforms, which is common in the industry. Harbinger is the only electric truck maker that manufactures its own motors and battery packs, which is a more cost effective and tailored solution than integrating off-the-shelf systems.

Harbinger Business Model

Once Harbinger assembles its electric vehicle stripped chassis, the company sells them to a dealer, a specialty upfitter, or directly to large fleet customers. From there, the dealer or customer works with a third party to upfit the chassis with a commercial or specialty body. Selling medium-duty stripped chassis separately from the body is standard practice for the large gas and diesel incumbents such as Ford and Freightliner.

One Platform, Many Possibilities

The majority of the vehicles in Harbinger’s 4,000-unit order, including those for Bimbo Bakeries USA, are intended for upfit into walk-in vans, which are commonly referred to as “step vans” and are the typical large package delivery trucks seen on roads today. The others will be upfit into various vehicle types such as class A motorhomes, emergency vehicles and cutaway cabs, which are vehicles where only a cab is provided and an upfitter provides a custom-built payload area to create box trucks, shuttle buses, and more. Harbinger is working with body partner Sevna to upfit the chassis into cutaway cabs. Harbinger’s electric chassis is available in three different wheelbases, including 158 inches, 178 inches, and 208 inches, and in four different gross vehicle weight ratings (GVWRs), ranging from class 4 through 6.

Other specifications include:

• 800V liquid cooled battery system, with capacity scalable in 35kWh increments up to a 200+ mile range, which serves 90% of truck use cases
• Designed for 20-year, 450,000-mile service life
• Segment-leading safety and driver assistance features
• One-hour DC fast charging capability
• Passenger vehicle-like handling and ride comfort

“Aligned with Grupo Bimbo’s Purpose of Nourishing a Better World, Bimbo Bakeries USA has multiple carbon reduction strategies to meet their commitment of achieving Net-Zero emissions by 2050,” said Christopher Wolfe, Senior Director of Sustainability, Bimbo Bakeries USA. “Partnering with Harbinger to expand our robust fleet of alternatively fueled vehicles is an important step in reducing our carbon emissions and dependencies on fossil fuels.”

Early Orders Being Manufactured Today

Harbinger’s manufacturing efforts are led by a world-class team including Tesla’s former Vice President (VP) of Manufacturing, Gilbert Passin, who serves as Harbinger’s Chief Production Officer. Passin, who spent nearly a decade at Tesla and led the launch and ramp-up of the Tesla Fremont factory, also held prior VP and General Manager-level roles with Toyota, Volvo Trucks, Mack Trucks, and Renault. Former Rivian VP of Supply Chain and Tesla executive Steve Gawronski serves as Harbinger’s Vice President of Supply Chain and Logistics.

Under Passin and his team’s leadership, the company has already produced and delivered a limited number of pre-production vehicles to key customers, including the first customer delivery to THOR in March of this year. Harbinger will begin producing and delivering its first production vehicles starting at the end of 2024.

“The THOR executives were amazed by the clean design of Harbinger’s electric chassis, and most had a hard time believing this was a pre-production vehicle,” said Jim Kane, Director of eMobility at THOR Industries. “Harbinger’s product is so much better than anything else we have seen from the industry.”

Government Incentives are a Game Changer for the Industry

Government regulations are accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles into fleets across the nation. The U.S. federal government’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is providing up to $40,000 per vehicle in tax incentives to buyers or lessors of commercial electric vehicles; either 30% of the original purchase price of the vehicle minus the credit, or the price difference between the electric vehicle and an equivalent gas or diesel vehicle. This incentive is valid from Jan. 1, 2023 through Dec. 31, 2032 with no limit on the number of vehicles sold or amount of money disbursed through this incentive. Additionally, state and local zero-emissions grants introduce substantially more cost savings directly to customers. For example, California’s Hybrid and Zero-Emissions Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP) provides buyers with approximately $30,000 – $85,000 worth of grants to purchase clean vehicles.

“Harbinger was founded on the principle that for commercial electric vehicles to become ubiquitous, they should be just as affordable to purchase as their gas and diesel counterparts,” said Harris. “The medium-duty truck market will quickly move to clean, economical electric power over the next few years, especially as government tax incentives and grants make all-electric trucks more affordable. There is a huge need for electrification in this market, and Harbinger is filling that gap.”

Price Parity with Gasoline and Diesel Vehicles

Most electric vehicles are only cost competitive with gasoline and diesel vehicles when factoring in the total cost of ownership, which takes into account the fuel and maintenance savings over many years. Harbinger takes a different approach. The company’s vehicles are sold at price parity with equivalent gas and diesel models after federal government tax incentives. 

Harbinger at ACT Expo

Harbinger is exhibiting at this year’s Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo. With one of the largest booths (#1271), they are showcasing a Bimbo Bakeries USA walk-in van, a cutaway cab developed by Harbinger partner Sevna, and the full suite of Harbinger’s proprietary vehicle technologies, including a complete electric stripped chassis and advanced safety systems demonstrations. On Wed., May 22 at 2:15 p.m. PT, Harbinger CEO John Harris will speak on a panel titled Vehicle Innovation, where he will discuss transformative innovations in vehicle technology for fleet applications. The expo floor opened on Mon., May 20, in Las Vegas, Nevada and ends on Thurs., May 23.
