Blue Arc EV Solutions

What Blue Arc EV Solutions does

Blue Arc EV Solutions is a commercial-grade electric vehicle brand within the Aebi Schmidt Group, formed through the 2024 merger of The Shyft Group Inc. and Aebi Schmidt. The company designs, manufactures, and distributes all-electric commercial vehicles targeting last-mile delivery, parcel, retail, utility, and work-truck fleet operators across the United States and Canada. Its core technology is a proprietary scalable EV chassis engineered from the ground up for Class 3-5 commercial duty cycles — distinct from consumer-derived EV platforms — incorporating modular liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery packs (158 kWh), a commercial-duty e-axle, Servotwin electro-hydraulic steering, and one-pedal regenerative braking.

The product portfolio includes the Class 4 walk-in van lineup (BA4 700, 800, 1000) with 740-960 cubic feet of cargo capacity and approximately 200 miles of EPA range, the Class 5 All-Electric Crew Cab for vocational applications, and the Power Cube portable charging station — a mobile, solar/wind-powered commercial charger deployable in as little as two hours. Blue Arc generates revenue primarily through hardware sales of vehicles and charging infrastructure, supplemented by recurring service revenue via extended warranty programs and dealer-channel service contracts. Pricing is quote-based, with federal (~$40K) and California ($60K) per-vehicle incentives available to commercial buyers.

The company operates through a coast-to-coast registered dealer network (including Randy Marion, Rush Enterprises, Allegiance Trucks, and Ascendance), an internal training platform (Blue Arc Academy), and service partnerships with Amerit Fleet Solutions (24/7 mobile service) and FleetNet America (fleet maintenance). Tier 1 supply chain partners include Dana, Bosch, Our Next Energy, Modine, Hendrickson, Michelin, Goodyear, Akebono, and Maxion. Blue Arc inherits roughly 50 years of commercial vehicle manufacturing heritage from its parent companies and currently operates as a private, non-publicly-traded brand entity.
