Electric trucks, chassis, bodies and related equipment are among the new products launching at Work Truck Week 2022, North America's largest work truck event.

Work Truck Week is scheduled March 8 to 11, 2022, at Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, Ind. Green Truck Summit is March 8. Education sessions run March 8 to 10, and the Work Truck Show exhibit hall is open March 9 to 11.

New electric vehicles are the focus of many of the 27 press conferences scheduled for Work Truck Week.

• The Shyft Group will reveal an all-new electric vehicle on a purpose-built Class 3 chassis platform, along with a charging station and other elements of the product ecosystem.
• Bollinger Motors will launch new electric trucks, including Class 3–6 commercial platforms and chassis cabs.
• Morgan Truck Body will unveil its electric vehicle dry freight and refrigerated truck body concepts.

Other companies announcing plans related to electrification include Legend Fleet Solutions, SEA Electric LLC, Vanair Manufacturing, Workhorse and ZF Group.

"Work Truck Week is traditionally the launching pad for new commercial trucks, equipment and technology, so it's natural that electrification — the hottest global vehicle trend — is a dominant theme this year," said Steve Carey, NTEA president and CEO.

"The industry is at an inflection point where we have traditional OEMs, most of whom have added electric vehicles to their lineups, and emerging dedicated electric vehicle manufacturers. As a result, more than 20 electric vehicle manufacturers are exhibiting alongside dozens of electrification upfitters, modifiers and component/equipment suppliers. This is a great example of how the work truck industry is constantly innovating to design more-efficient, cleaner vehicles that keep the world working."

Many exhibiting companies are showcasing new products ahead of Work Truck Week through the Product Gallery at wts22.mapyourshow.com. Register and create a WTW22 Planner for full access.

Attendees can learn what 13 of the leading commercial vehicle manufacturers have planned at exclusive OEM update sessions offered as part of the educational program March 8–10.
