What Horizon Motor does
Horizon Motor, Inc. is a Tucker, Georgia-based manufacturer of battery-electric commercial vehicles serving North American fleet operators. Founded in 2019, the company has assembled one of the broadest commercial BEV lineups available in the U.S. market, spanning Class 3 through Class 8 and covering box trucks, refrigerated trucks, refuse vehicles, tow trucks, dump trucks, cement mixers, cab-and-chassis configurations, and a Class 8 semi-truck. Vehicle battery packs range from approximately 151 kWh on Class 3-5 units to 513 kWh on Class 8 platforms, with the Class 8 semi-truck offering a stated 350-mile range. The product portfolio extends beyond vehicles into charging and energy infrastructure, including a 1032 kWh grid-free mobile battery charging system, a Class 8 battery swap system capable of exchanges in under five minutes, Level 2 wall-mounted and portable chargers, a battery-powered E-Chassis for intermodal and refrigerated transport, and a battery-powered smart trailer accessory.
The company pursues a multi-channel go-to-market: direct enterprise field sales, an authorized dealer network (with HA DeHart & Son in New Jersey as the first named dealer and additional regional dealers planned), and a website-based pre-order system that requires a 25% deposit and operates on quote-based pricing. Marketing activity is anchored on industry tradeshows such as ACT Expo, ConExpo, the NTEA Work Truck Show, Mid America Trucking Show, and the National Restaurant Association Show, supported by a website, digital brochures, and an Instagram presence. The customer base is structured around six target verticals — fleet operators (primary), cold chain logistics, refuse and waste management, towing services, construction, and municipal services — with stated operational benefits of up to 60% lower fuel costs and 30-50% lower maintenance costs relative to diesel. As of 2026, only one named customer (a California fleet receiving the first production Class 8 unit) is disclosed in the available data, and the company is privately held with 11-50 employees, no disclosed funding rounds, and no reported revenue.
