Harbinger, a leading manufacturer of medium-duty electric and hybrid-electric vehicles, announced that its lineup is now available for purchase across all provinces and territories in Canada. Orders are being accepted through the company’s Canadian dealer, Safetek Specialty Vehicles, as Harbinger works to expand its nationwide dealer network.
Built on Harbinger’s proprietary electric vehicle chassis platform, the company’s vehicles are purpose-designed for walk-in vans, box trucks, recreational vehicles, delivery vans, and emergency or disaster response applications. Electric step vans will be the first Harbinger models available in Canada, with additional variants to follow.
Trucks represent the fastest-growing segment in Canada’s electric vehicle (EV) market, currently valued at approximately CAD 15.8 billion in 2024 and projected to nearly triple to CAD 40.8 billion by 2030. The broader Canadian commercial vehicle market is valued at CAD 23.7 billion.
Engineered from the ground up for electrification, Harbinger’s vehicles are built to meet the demanding needs of last-mile delivery, municipal operations, and commercial fleets. Each all-electric and hybrid model emphasizes durability, modularity, and ease of service. To ensure optimal performance in harsh winter conditions, Harbinger conducted extensive cold-weather testing on snow and ice in New Zealand.
Harbinger’s advanced electric chassis integrates all major vehicle systems — including the powertrain, battery system, steering, and braking — all designed and manufactured in-house. This vertically integrated approach lowers costs while delivering a safer, more durable, and higher-performing alternative to conventional electric vehicles that rely on retrofitted diesel or gasoline platforms.
”The industry reception to Harbinger vehicles to date demonstrates a strong appetite for durable, affordable and environmentally friendly alternatives to supplement gas and diesel fleets,” said John Harris, CEO, Harbinger. “The need for EV options is amplified in Canada, where federal EV mandates are more aggressive. Our vehicles not only help Canadian companies meet these mandates, but they are also best-in-class medium-duty vehicles.”
