Worksport Ltd.—a U.S.-based manufacturer of hybrid and clean energy solutions for the light truck, overlanding and global consumer goods sectors—has announced a commercial-use pilot project with a leading U.S. construction firm that has a fleet comprising over 1,000 trucks, according to company officials in a press release. Under this initial engagement, the construction firm has purchased units of the Worksport’s SOLIS solar tonneau cover and COR portable energy system to use and evaluate for broader application to their large truck fleet. This marks Worksport’s first major collaborative project with a large construction industry stakeholder.
“We believe our COR and SOLIS systems will be an excellent fit for large commercial work fleets,” commented Steven Rossi, CEO of Worksport. “We are excited to have a reputed, well-known construction Company purchase test units of our COR and SOLIS system to test within their network. We believe this collaboration underscores Worksport’s underlying excitement for the upcoming product line, set for public release in fall 2025. We believe this relationship can be meaningful with significant revenue upside opportunities in the future.”
Initial Commercial Project Overview
Here’s a breakdown of how the pilot program is scheduled to evolve:
- Pilot (Phase I): Customer will receive two purchased sets of the Worksport SOLIS and COR systems. This pilot aims to validate the performance, reliability and practical benefits of Worksport’s clean-tech solutions in real-world construction environments.
- Strategic Feedback Loop: Working with the customer’s innovation department, Worksport expects to receive detailed feedback and performance data in real commercial settings. The construction company may also create and share marketing and media content for Worksport’s use.
- Future Phases: Upon successful completion of Phase I, Worksport anticipates moving to a larger scale order to implement Worksport’s nano-grid power system for broader use.
Strategic Outlook & Broader Implications for Worksport
This collaboration not only creates a structured roadmap toward large-scale fleet adoption but also delivers an invaluable real-world industrial use case for Worksport’s COR and SOLIS nano-grid system, noted the release. The customer—recognized as a top-tier builder and engineering firm—serves a wide array of institutional and government clients, including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Coast Guard and General Services Administration (GSA). As this pilot progresses, Worksport expects to gain critical performance insights, foster a deeper partnership and potentially unlock additional opportunities across both private and public sectors.
Worksport also recently announced that it had secured a second national automotive distributor.
