Los Angeles-based EV startup Harbinger has revealed its second vehicle: a smaller, medium-duty work truck. <\/p>\n
Called the HC Series Cab, the new truck will be available as an all-electric vehicle, or as a hybrid (the latter has up to 500 miles of range). The company says the vehicle features easy entry and exit, a tight turning radius, and the ability to upfit the chassis in various ways, like adding cargo boxes or flatbeds. The company did not reveal pricing.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor too long, fleets have had to compromise between payload, maneuverability, range and onboard capability,\u201d Harbinger\u2019s co-founder and CEO, John Harris, said in a statement. \u201cWe engineered this platform to outperform legacy diesel options while unlocking new advantages through electrification and our range-extended hybrid system to enable real work in the field.\u201d<\/p>\n
Founded in 2022, Harbinger has been moving quickly over the past year, raising a $100 million Series B<\/a> in January 2025, and a $160 million Series C round<\/a> in November. The company has attracted customers like FedEx and RV-builder THOR Industries with its larger truck chassis, which can also operate all-electric or as a range-extended hybrid.<\/p>\n Alongside, Harbinger has been diversifying beyond its truck chassis products. The company started selling energy storage products in January, and roped in Airstream as its first customer<\/a>. In February, the company announced its first-ever acquisition, buying autonomous vehicle software company Phantom AI<\/a>.<\/p>\n While many electric vehicle startups have failed over the last few years, Harris has previously told TechCrunch he\u2019s trying to keep Harbinger \u201cfocused and have very high confidence in what we say we\u2019re going to do before we say we\u2019re going to do it.\u201d <\/p>\n The push to create new lines of business has been deliberate, too. <\/p>\n Techcrunch event<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSan Francisco, CA<\/span> \u201cThe more we diversify revenue sources, the better kind of long-term, stable company we build that becomes, I think, more tolerant of these wild swings we have in the U.S. market,\u201d Harris told TechCrunch in February.<\/p>\n The U.S. electric passenger vehicle market is currently dealing with many headwinds, but Harris has argued that EVs and hybrids make sense in commercial trucking because of the lower total cost of ownership and less frequent maintenance requirements. He has not publicly revealed Harbinger\u2019s revenue for 2025\u00a0\u2014 the first year that it sold its larger truck chassis \u2014 though he told TechCrunch last month that the company\u2019s sales were a \u201cmultiple\u201d of the entire electric truck market in 2024.<\/p>\n And since the company is vertically integrated, Harris said there are a number of ways Harbinger can keep trying to build new lines of business.<\/p>\n \u201cWe built these verticals of what I think of as our own in-house suppliers. We have a battery supplier, which we now sell from. We have a motor supplier, which we\u2019ll now sell from. We have a suspension supplier. We have an axle supplier. All these things are Harbinger suppliers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
