Workhorse Group has announced the launch of its new Certified Dealer Program, an initiative to develop an official network of verified dealers that have passed the protocols necessary to safely repair and maintain the electric components of the company’s vehicles. Workhorse has engaged Kingsburg Truck Center, a work truck dealer headquartered in Kingsburg, California, as its first certified electric vehicle dealer in California.
As part of the Certified Dealer Program, Workhorse says it has established a comprehensive training program that provides dealers with both hands-on and online training, including technical sales training. The company says the program will enable dealers to safely assist customers with vehicle maintenance in addition to providing strategies for vehicle deployment into their fleets. Workhorse-certified dealers have also made investments in EV charging infrastructure, tooling, and building out spare parts inventory, the company says.
