Lightning Systems announced Thursday an all-electric powertrain is now available for the Ford F-550 chassis cab.
Lightning has tripled the size of its production facility in Loveland in recent months to support electric F-550 and other EV production.
The designer and manufacturer of zero-emission powertrains announced that the new Lightning Electric Ford F-550 will be available in gross vehicle weight ratings of 17,500 to 19,500 pounds. Orders from fleets are being accepted immediately.
“As a result of our modular and flexible battery and powertrain design, the Lightning F-550, like all of our platforms, supports a wide array of aftermarket solutions from leading Ford upfitters, including rear air conditioning for buses, rear heating, wheelchair lifts, cargo lifts, boxes, tow truck accessories, and refrigeration units,” Tim Reeser, CEO, said in a news release.
The new model will have an electric range of more than 100 miles, peak power of 180 kW, which is the equivalent of 241 horsepower, and a top speed of 65 mph.
With a state-of-the-art, liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery system, the new can be fully charged in two-and-a-half hours, the release stated.
In addition to powering new F-550 models, existing trucks and shuttle buses can be converted with the Lightning all-electric powertrain.
