Harbinger has expanded its commercial vehicle lineup with the introduction of the HC Series Cab, a medium-duty low cab forward (LCF) truck available in both fully electric and range-extended hybrid configurations.

The truck was unveiled at Work Truck Week in Indianapolis and is designed for work-truck applications requiring maneuverability, onboard power and flexible upfit capability.

Built on Harbinger’s proprietary electric vehicle architecture, the HC Series Cab delivers 440 horsepower and more than 13,000 lb.-ft. of torque to the wheels. The shared platform is designed to support both work trucks and walk-in vans while allowing fleets to use common components across vehicle types.

Company officials say the approach simplifies maintenance and parts inventory while maintaining the performance and capability fleets expect from medium-duty vehicles.

“The HC Series Cab represents a major expansion of our product line and a defining moment for the medium-duty industry,” said John Harris, co-founder and CEO of Harbinger. “For too long, fleets have had to compromise between payload, maneuverability, range and onboard capability.”

Higher uptime

It’s engineered around what customers care about most, lower operating costs, higher uptime, safety and greater productivity, he added at the launch.

The truck carries a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 26,000 lb. and offers payload capacity comparable to leading diesel vehicles in the segment, according to the company.

Harbinger said the platform’s architecture allows longer cargo boxes to be mounted on shorter wheelbases. The cab-forward design improves maneuverability and visibility while increasing usable cargo volume without extending overall vehicle length.

The truck has a turning diameter of 42 ft. on a 158-in. wheelbase, which the company says helps operators maneuver in urban environments and confined job sites.

Smoother, quieter driving experience

Independent front suspension and the responsiveness of the electric drivetrain are designed to deliver a smoother and quieter driving experience compared with conventional medium-duty trucks.

Harbinger’s HC Series Cab will be offered in both battery-electric and range-extended hybrid models.

The hybrid system uses a gasoline engine that recharges the vehicle’s batteries, extending range to as much as 500 miles (804 km) depending on upfit configuration and duty cycle. The system also allows the vehicle to recharge its battery while parked without being connected to external power. The vehicle is fitted with a 48-gallon (181 litre) fuel tank.

Harbinger says the design provides fleets with electric performance, including instant torque and smooth acceleration, while addressing range requirements for applications that operate beyond typical daily EV routes.

The platform also supports full power take-off capability to operate hydraulic or body-mounted equipment.

In addition to propulsion, the HC Series Cab is designed to function as a mobile power source for job sites.

AC inverter to power external tools

The company offers an onboard AC inverter capable of exporting up to 15 kilowatts of power on both electric and hybrid models. Crews can operate external tools and equipment directly from the vehicle.

In a hybrid configuration, the onboard generator can sustain continuous 15-kilowatt power output without relying on external power sources, eliminating the need for separate generators.

Harbinger said the vehicle’s electric architecture also enables stationary charging, allowing the hybrid model to recharge its battery while parked using the onboard range extender.

The HC Series Cab is built on Harbinger’s vertically integrated vehicle platform, which the company says includes in-house development of major systems such as the battery pack, powertrain, steering and braking systems.

Designed for up to 20 years of service life

Using shared components across vehicles helps fleets streamline technician training and reduce parts inventories while simplifying service procedures.

The electric drivetrain eliminates many traditional maintenance requirements, such as oil changes and conventional transmission servicing, which the company says can reduce downtime and operating costs.

Harbinger said the platform is engineered for durability targets exceeding 450,000 miles (724,204 km) and a service life of up to 20 years.

ADAS integration

The company also announced plans to integrate advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) into its vehicles following the acquisition of Phantom AI.

Beginning in 2026, Harbinger intends to equip its electric and hybrid trucks with systems including automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and additional driver-assistance features.

Fred DePerez, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Harbinger, said advanced safety technology can help reduce driver workload in medium-duty operations that involve frequent stops and dense urban driving conditions.

Drivers operating these vehicles often make hundreds of stops per day while navigating traffic, loading zones and job sites, which can lead to fatigue, he said.

ADAS technologies can help reduce cognitive load in these situations and improve driver safety and productivity.

The HC Series Cab also includes existing safety features such as backup cameras with dynamic trajectory, virtual bumpers and acoustic vehicle alert systems.

Harbinger said the new cab chassis expands its reach beyond the step-van and strip-chassis markets where the company initially focused its products.

The company reported nearly $90 million in vehicle sales in 2025 and said it more than doubled the size of the U.S. medium-duty electric vehicle market during the year.

Expanding dealer network

Harbinger currently works with about 65 dealers in North America and plans to expand that network to more than 200 by the end of the year.

The company has also begun expanding internationally, including into Canada through its dealer partner Kaizen Automotive Group.

Harbinger said it conducted cold-weather testing in snow and ice conditions in New Zealand to prepare the trucks for Canadian winters.

The HC Series Cab is available for order now with a starting price of $105,999 (about $143,993).
