"We have already delivered a right-hand drive EV Star Cab and Chassis to GML and will be delivering additional EV Star Cab and Chassis and EV Star Cargos ordered by GML," said GreenPower CEO and Chairman Fraser Atkinson.

Pang noted that the market potential is considerable as governments around the world are pushing for electrification and promoting the adoption of renewable energy. "Market opportunities for the EV Star Cab and Chassis include using it as the platform for shuttle bus, school bus, motorhome and box trucks as well as the EV Star Cargo upfitted for delivery, services, utility and last mile in potential markets including Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and some others," Pang continued.
