Workhorse signs first Canadian dealer deal with Tristan Fleet Management for W56 electric trucks
Workhorse is bringing its W56 Class 5 and 6 electric trucks to Canada under a new agreement with Tristan Fleet Management, a dealer group and fleet management provider offering truck and trailer sales, parts, repair, and 24/7 roadside assistance and towing. It is the first Canadian dealer partnership for Workhorse, which has sold and supported electric trucks in Canada since 2021 through its partnership with Purolator. The announcement was reported in an EV trade news article, which quotes Chief Revenue Officer James Griffin on the W56's real-world fleet service across Canada.
Why it matters
A dealer network with round-the-clock roadside support addresses a common barrier for Canadian fleets considering electric medium-duty trucks, and signals a likely rise in depot charging demand beyond step van operators. CPOs and installers serving last-mile and commercial fleets in Canada should watch for new W56 orders that need charging infrastructure.
