XL Fleet Corp. has made an agreement with Rubicon, a software platform that provides smart waste and recycling solutions for businesses and governments, to bring XL Fleet’s offerings for fleet electrification to Rubicon’s network of waste and recycling hauler partners. The companies say this will allow XL Fleet to grow its customer base by jointly approaching Rubicon’s expansive partner network with the electrification-as-a-service offering.

XL Fleet aims to provide hybrid electric, plug-in hybrid and all-electric solutions, as well as deliver charging infrastructure through its XL Grid division, as a complete, end-to-end offering to Rubicon’s network of more than 7,000 vendor and hauler partners across the United States.

This latest partnership builds on XL Fleet’s existing initiatives in the waste and recycling space announced earlier this year, including a partnership with refuse trucks provider Curbtender, to develop all-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles.
