GreenPath Logistics taps Hyliion Hypertruck ERX trucks to move toward sustainability

Hyliion Holdings Corp announced that GreenPath Logistics has ordered 50 units backed by deposits to secure Hypertruck ERX production slots. After their Ride and Drive experience at Hyliion’s headquarters, the Dallas-based, full-service private fleet—which uses only vehicles powered by alternative fuels—is the first member of the Hypertruck Innovation Council to place an order of Hypertruck ERX units.

“Our commitment to sustainability in the transportation industry is built into the very fabric of our business, and we are excited to be able to offer our customers innovative solutions that can make a significant impact in reducing carbon emissions,” said James Purvis, President, GreenPath Logistics. “The deployment of Hypertruck ERX units in our operations is a momentous next step in our electrification journey that will benefit the environment, our company and our drivers.”

An early adopter of Hyliion technology, GreenPath Logistics placed an initial order of 20 Hybrid eX units in December 2021 and will collaborate with Hyliion to begin the initial controlled fleet trials for the Hypertruck ERX in their operations later this year, where they move freight for notable customers such as Amazon, UPS and the United States Postal Service.
