Edison Motors’ 10 New Hybrid Truck Builds & Future Plans!

We started with a goal at Edison Motors: to build 10 Diesel Electric Trucks – 5 semi-trucks and 5 pickup trucks with retrofit kits. We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve met that goal!

In this video, we break down the projects for our next 10 trucks, including:
• Tri-Drive Winch Tractor for in-house testing
• Custom builds for Royal Oilfield, Emcon, Tolko, and a secret truck
• Exciting collaborations with The Boss Garage and Bore Diesel
• Undisclosed service truck projects for a major company

We also discuss the progress of our hybrid retrofit kits for pickups and semis, share details about our partnerships, and open up investment opportunities for those passionate about transforming the future of transport!

Love the look of the cab over for the anonymous customer.

[SolarGuyInMaine]

Happy to hear you doubling down on building these ones right before selling more. You guys are history in the making.

Is that my dream? A diesel electric camper truck? Gimme!

Another possible application would be a hybrid cement truck. Here's why; many years ago I was laying block at the Tonawanda GM plant and we had a bunch of wall to grout. So we ordered a truck. Us guys were working up close to the ceiling when the truck had to come inside to discharge. It obviously had to run and man o man did it ever smog us out at the ceiling height. If that truck had been able to shut down and come inside the plant on battery and discharge everyone would have been better off. It wouldn't be a high sales volume application. But cement companies having at least one hybrid for those industrial interior applications, or just eliminating idle time while unloading in general, would be great. Great work guys.

The "forward cab" on the "undisclosed" truck is tough as heck. Imaging making your own 1-ton machine like that.

I would love to see a series of videos with each customer talking about what they need and the specifics they are looking for, then you covering how Edison delivers. I love this!!!

[HeavyTanker]

#5 has some major Transformers/Military The next Transformers movie is a Gi-Joe Crossover they like having new tech like this in movies alot of the I have reserved hope....

10 down. 10, 000, 000 to go. Good luck making the best trucks on the market.

I don't know if u guys read the comments, but because you are intrested in technology in Europe, there is one thing what you should take to your trucks too. That is the liftable drive axle/ axles. That is saving lots of energy when driving empty, making the handling a lot easier and the most important thing is the liftable axles make the traction much better, with a load or without a load, it increases the load per axle and that way grip too, and that is very important feature in a logging truck. That would be a feature that other manufacturers can't respond out there in North America.

155, 000 lbs off highway is wild. Even moving kinda slow that much weight on a beat down gravel road is nuts

[richardlincoln]

We admire the ethics displayed by You Mister Barber and Edison Motors.
Best Wishes for a successful and prosperous 2025 !

"Happy Accident" That's innovation in a nutshell, sometimes you don't know something is needed but someone else does.

[ehta]

That darn cab-over. That would be a killer military truck up here in the North! :D

[OTGBob]

You guys are going to change the world. Don't stop now, you're doing great.👍👍

[armandbourque]

Work van!! WORK VAN!!! Bare bones hybrid diesel cargo van!!!!

[mikey_scog]

Do have to say I love the cab over design. I've been a day one quiet viewer and I'm amazed at the progress y'all have made and I have nothing but the utmost confidence in this company

[CoffeeLoki]

The fact that you are so dedicated to being a reliable, ethical, moral, and customer focused company (as opposed to a purely profit driven company) makes me extremely happy. The fact that you guys fight so hard for right to repair, sustainability, and owning what you buy is why I like you so much.

[DieselMr]

It's refreshing to see a company run by people with their heads screwed on straight!
Looking forward to seeing these on the road; being as I'm in Sweden that could be a while, but I'll wait patiently:)

Fun Fact: In Salt Lake City there is a Land Cruiser Museum, and in that museum is a Land Cruiser from one of those underground mines. Typically once they've reached the end of life they're scrapped rather than sold, so it's kind of unique.

[ltpinecone]

That cabover looks awesome! I would love to see it as a Fire Engine cab someday!
