Why Edison

Power without compromise.

The people

From a backyard to a revolution

Edison Motors started with a simple idea: electric trucks shouldn't suck. We were tired of seeing "green" trucks that couldn't haul a real load. So we built our own.

We combine a diesel generator with electric drive axles. This means you get the massive torque of electric motors, but you can refuel anywhere in 5 minutes. No grid dependency, no downtime.
