Lordstown Motors stated that it has begun commercial manufacturing of the Endurance, an electric powered pickup truck intended for commercial-fleet use.
Lordstown shares fell below $2 in early morning buying and selling.
The corporation has so far built two vehicles for clients at its Ohio manufacturing facility. It expects to full a third truck shortly. The corporation is aiming to provide about 50 vans to shoppers by the close of the yr.
Edward Hightower, who turned Lordstown’s CEO in July immediately after it concluded the sale of its manufacturing facility to Foxconn, reported points are continuing as planned.
“We will proceed to establish at a slow amount as we deal with remaining part pedigree and section availability troubles,” he explained. “We assume to enhance the pace of production into November and December.”
Lordstown hopes to boost its price of creation considerably in 2023. But performing so may perhaps involve extra income: The corporation expects to burn up about $85 million through the fourth quarter, which will depart it with just $110 million on hand at the finish of the year.
The enterprise explained in assertion that it will “carry on to discover options” to elevate supplemental funds.
