🔧 Built by Truckers, for Truckers 🔧

Founded by Chace Barber and Eric Little in 2016, Edison Motors is a testament to the trucking spirit. Beginning with a 1969 Kenworth Logging Truck named "Old Blue," they journeyed from Merritt, BC, hauling logs to the Yukon and drilling rigs in Alberta. Frustrated with newer trucks, they rebuilt classics from the frame up, expanding into power generation and off-grid solar systems in 2019. Their journey led to the creation of the Edison Truck, a robust electric truck tailored to logging and heavy vocational industries.

🔩 Upgrade Without Replacing: Edison Electrification Kit 🔩

Keep trucks on the road longer with the Edison Electrification kit. Upgrade your driveline to electric without replacing the entire truck. Ideal for vocational applications, this kit is a cost-effective solution. Unlike other electric trucks, Edison Motors offers customer choice. Choose between Rebuilding (utilizing existing cab and frame rails) or Remanufacturing (brand new frame and chassis).

🚚 Payload Efficiency: The Weight Balance 🚚

Edison Trucks match the weight of a normal diesel truck. With reduced motor weight and additional fuel balancing out battery weight, experience efficiency and increased payload capacity. The L series, though slightly heavier, remains comparable to a normal diesel truck.

🛠️ Keep Your Equipment with Rebuilt Trucks 🛠️

For vocational trucks, keep your equipment with a rebuilt truck. Edison's e-pto and control system integrate seamlessly. No need to replace your entire body when upgrading to an electric truck.

🔧 Bespoke Manufacturing: Handcrafted to Your Needs 🔧

The manufacturing process at Edison Motors is a testament to their commitment to customer satisfaction. Each Edison Truck undergoes a meticulous five-step process, from frame and rolling chassis preparation to final touches and rigorous testing. The focus is on building a truck that reflects the customer's requirements, embracing the philosophy of "Building The Truck Of The Future With The Quality Of The Past."

🔌 Electric or Diesel-Electric: Your Power, Your Choice 🔌

Edison Motors offers both fully electric and diesel-electric vocational trucks based on customer demands. The onboard generator ensures continuous operation in areas lacking charging infrastructure.

💡 Advantages of Electric: Power, Torque, Longevity 💡

Edison Trucks bring increased power, torque, reliability, and longevity. Inspired by electric freight trains, regenerative ability harnesses energy for efficient uphill climbs.

⚙️ Efficiency Redefined: Diesel-Electric Technology ⚙️

Diesel-electric technology delivers peak load demand energy supply. Batteries initiate movement, and the diesel generator recharges the battery, capturing braking energy for restarts. The generator's constant RPM eliminates turbo lag.

🌿 Environmental Benefits: Paving the Way for Change 🌿

Diesel-electric technology results in up to 70-100% fuel savings, directly correlating to a 75%-100% reduction in diesel exhaust. Smaller lithium batteries mean less environmental damage. Diesel-electric offers a practical transition to electric for energy-intensive trucking industries. Generator diesel engines ensure optimal fuel/air ratio, contributing to a hotter and cleaner burn of emissions.

That's not ZERO EMISSIONS!!!! That burrito at lunch is emitting PLENTY of emissions!!!

[aidenbrown]

My CAT D1 works amazing but needs a recharge every 15 loads

[mikemcevoy]

Only $150 more for those three letters on the side 😂

[Ray-Koto-McLellan]

Could you imagine if a company actually made a wheelbarrow good and strong enough to actually do the job for years on end? Instead we get this really thin gauge metal or plastic and 6 months to a year later we're looking at replacing the damn thing because the belly of the barrow has broken in some form or fashion and the wheel has blown its bearings

[kenbrown]

I bought a zero emissions John Deere excavator, every time my wife wants a hold dug, I tell her there's a software glitch and I have to wait for a factory tech to come reset it.
right to repair laws will kill the slacker industry.

[timothyengland]

You know chace if eddison had a toppsy wheel barrow, id buy one just to donate profits to the future of the company

[cameronbuttigieg]

Lmfao Look like you're at Princess Auto. I seen those wheelbarrows at the Sudbury PA and stood there for 5 minutes looking at all the ways they could have made that thing better but decided not to.

Didn't widen the legs for more stability. Didn't brace the wheel on top; left the brace low so you catch it on rocks and frozen horse turds and immediately slam to a stop...

Didn't add forearm braces on the handles to take the strain off your fingers when you're carrying loads all day long and you can't feel your hands...

[jeffreycolburn]

Down here in Alabama I learned how to operate one of those when I was thirteen

[alexrodgers]

I love that haul truck. 1000 lbs in that is insane

[calc]

Every Canadian DIY’r’s fave store, Princess Auto!

[pothoc]

That one struck me just right and of course I just just took a swig of coffee 😂😂

[waynesinclair]

There is always 1 smart arse in the bunch, well done young man for being equal to 2

[michaelwalker]

Technology is really making the world a better and cleaner environment

[BenProVids]

Funny, but as someone who works for a CAT dealer, electrification is coming. However, right now they are focused on specific customer use cases. From what I understand, the plan is to allow for the customer to be able to order almost any model in a fully electric configuration.

[brianprice]

Pretty sure that the operator you find for that model of haul truck will not be zero emissions!

[Coastal_Cruzer]

Can't wait to grab one of these 😃

[howardkettner]

Hahaha. Soooo good! Just love the surprises on this channel

[montegtaylor]

I was a heavy equipment operator when I worked for my dad. 😂

[nyaboron]

If you'd ever been behind one of those you'd know they aren't zero emissions. Idk who's smogging those things but someone got paid off.

[c-w-h]

Going to need an attachment for my electric scooter. 😂
