Xos Secures 30-Truck Purchase Order From Repeat Customer UniFirst

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xos, Inc. (NASDAQ: XOS) today announced that repeat customer, UniFirst Corporation (UniFirst), has signed a purchase order for 30 additional 2023 Xos SV Stepvans. The order comes as part of UniFirst’s Memorandum of Understanding to purchase 200 vehicles from Xos. Deliveries are expected to take place at UniFirst's Ontario, San Diego, and Stockton, CA locations between Q4 2023 and Q1 2024.

In addition to the purchase of vehicles, Xos Energy Solutions™ will support charging infrastructure, with a charging purchase order already in place for UniFirst's Ontario, CA location.

UniFirst’s purchase order follows additional Xos stepvan purchases and energy infrastructure installations at UniFirst's Santa Fe (2022) and Boston (2023) locations. As part of these previous collaborations, Xosphere®—Xos’ fleet management software—has been implemented to provide valuable insights into the deployment of UniFirst’s electric fleet. Future deployments will continue to benefit from Xosphere as the software helps optimize Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and reduce vehicle charging costs.

"We are excited to continue our collaboration with Xos and harness the power of their state-of-the-art electric stepvans. Xos' comprehensive solutions, including vehicles, software, and infrastructure, have proven instrumental in driving our successful electrification program," stated Michael Croatti, UniFirst's Executive Vice President of Operations.

“There is nothing more satisfying than seeing a world-class customer return to make another purchase order,” said Dakota Semler, CEO & Co-Founder at Xos. “It is a testament to the quality of our products and services, and confirms that we are delivering the value our customers expect. We are thrilled to continue this partnership and look forward to providing UniFirst continued quality vehicles and service in the future."
