As a refresher, XL Fleet is currently a leading provider of fleet electrification services in North America, with over 3,200 electrified powertrain systems sold to date, clocking in over 130 million miles. The company’s XL Hybrid (XLH) and XL Plug-In (XLP) powertrains utilize regenerative braking to provide additional energy during acceleration. Moreover, the XLP powertrains supplement regenerative braking power with an AC electricity source, including a level 1 or level 2 charger. Cumulatively, these powertrains improve a vehicle’s mileage by 25 to 50 percent. Additionally, XL Fleet is currently developing the XL Electric option – a fully electric powertrain driven entirely by batteries – as well as one based on hydrogen fuel cells.

Along with providing electrification options to a wide range of vehicles, including Class 7-8 tractor chassis and electrified refuse vehicles, XL Fleet also plans to offer charging solutions through the XL Grid service. In addition, its Electrification-as-a-Service solution would finance and manage vehicles, powertrains, as well as charging and energy storage systems.

As far as the financials are concerned, XL Fleet expects to earn $21 million in revenue in 2020. However, this top-line metric is expected to swell to $281 million in 2022. By 2024, the company expects to earn around $1.4 billion in revenue.
