National Auto Fleet Group (NAFG) has entered into a partnership with Motiv Electric Trucks to make medium-duty zero-emission vehicles available to public-sector fleets nationwide through a Sourcewell cooperative purchasing contract. The collaboration is intended to streamline fleet electrification for cities, schools, and other government agencies.
The agreement allows eligible public entities to acquire Motiv’s Class 4–6 electric step vans, box trucks, and buses at pre-negotiated prices without undergoing a traditional bidding process. The companies said the arrangement is designed to improve cost efficiency and accelerate access to electric fleet solutions.

“Cities, counties and states across the country are recognizing the significant health, environmental and operational benefits of electric trucks and buses,” said Scott Griffith, CEO of Motiv Electric Trucks. “Our partnership with NAFG now gives public fleets an efficient and cost-effective way to purchase Motiv electric vehicles through Sourcewell.”
Motiv’s vehicles are already in operation with several major commercial fleets, including Purolator, Vestis, Cintas, and Bimbo Bakeries. The company reports that nearly 450 of its vehicles have accumulated more than six million zero-emission miles. The City of Los Angeles recently expanded its Motiv fleet to seven battery-electric trucks built on the EPIC 4 platform, featuring a 127 kWh battery pack and DC fast-charging capability for extended range.

Randy Lester, Fleet Sales Director at NAFG, said the collaboration addresses rising demand for electric vehicles across public fleets. “We are seeing increasing demand for electric work trucks and buses across our portfolio,” he said. “The addition of Motiv vehicles will make it easy and efficient for our customers to electrify their fleets.”
Founded in 2009, Motiv Electric Trucks is based in the San Francisco Bay Area and focuses on producing medium-duty electric vehicles for urban and vocational applications. The company announced plans in August 2025 to merge with Workhorse Group Inc., a deal expected to close by the end of the year, creating a combined North American manufacturer of electric trucks.
