Lightning eMotors Doubles Production Capacity at Colorado Plant
LOVELAND, CO—EV specialist Lightning eMotors has completed a 102,000-square-foot expansion of its manufacturing facility here, in order to double production of zero-emission vehicles and powertrains to 1,500 by the end of 2022. The company's goal is to produce 20,000 units by 2025.
This expansion is part of a $5 million investment designed to increase manufacturing efficiency, as well as overall capacity.
