VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 14, 2021 / Vicinity Motor Corp. (NASDAQ:VEV)(TSXV:VMC)(FSE:6LG) ("Vicinity Motor," "VMC" or the "Company") (formerly Grande West Transportation Group Inc.), a leading supplier of electric, CNG and clean diesel vehicles, today announced that it has received an initial order from a private operator in British Columbia for 10 VMC 1200 Class 3 Trucks valued at over $1.0 million.

"We are thrilled to receive our first order for our recently announced all-new Vicinity 1200 Fully Electric Class 3 Truck designed for urban environments and construction or delivery applications," said William Trainer, Founder and CEO of Vicinity Motor Corp.
