Cenntro Begins Production of Electric Commercial Trucks at New Assembly Facility in Florida
Cenntro Electric Group Limited (NASDAQ: CENN), a trailblazer in the EV technology industry, is thrilled to announce the commencement of production for its highly anticipated electric commercial trucks, the LS400, Teemak and Metro models. These state-of-the-art vehicles are being manufactured at a newly established assembly facility located in Jacksonville, Florida. This marks a significant milestone in the company’s mission to revolutionize the EV market with advanced, market-validated electric commercial vehicles, underlining a commitment to sustainable transportation solutions.
The Jacksonville facility will host a range of operations including electric vehicle assembly, upfitting, and pre-delivery inspections. This state-of-the-art facility is a new addition to the operational network, joining the recently expanded assembly facility in Howell, NJ. Focusing on a commitment to local markets, vehicles assembled at the Jacksonville facility are predominantly targeted for the Southeastern region of the US and the Central American region. In a great leap forward, Cenntro anticipates starting delivery of vehicles, assembled at the Jacksonville plant, to customers as early as next month.
“After more than 15 months of facility renovation, assembly line preparation, and local regulatory compliances, the Jacksonville facility has begun assembly,” said Peter Wang, Chairman and CEO. “The vehicles assembled in Jacksonville will meet the strong market demand for our electric commercial vehicles in the region. With the capability to accommodate the LS400, Teemak and Metro electric commercial trucks we are well positioned to capture US market share in the years ahead.
“Cenntro now has established production and assembly at 5 facilities globally, in addition to EV centers in the U.S., Poland, Germany, Spain, Morocco and the Dominican Republic to support large-scale deployment and align with its go-to-market strategy for new growth.
“It is not an easy task to set up this local assembly capability, and I have to thank our staff, the local government, construction companies, and our partners for their dedication and endless efforts especially through this tough time with the Covid pandemic and supply shortage,” concluded Wang.
