Harbinger’s next product will be hybrid emergency vehicles

Trucking startup Harbinger, known for its flexible electric vehicle platform, is expanding into hybrid emergency vehicles through a new partnership with Frazer, a 70-year-old ambulance manufacturer. Frazer will build ambulances and larger mobile healthcare vehicles on Harbinger’s hybrid chassis, which combines a predominantly electric powertrain with a range-extending combustion engine. This collaboration also includes Frazer purchasing Harbinger’s battery-based auxiliary power units (APUs), designed to replace traditional generators and provide clean, reliable power for medical equipment in the field without draining the vehicle’s main battery or engine. Harbinger’s adaptable platform, which supports various vehicle types including RVs, delivery vans, and box trucks, is a key factor in its success, allowing customization in chassis length, weight ratings, and powertrain options while maintaining high parts commonality. The hybrid powertrain offers Frazer’s customers—municipalities, hospitals, and emergency services—lower total cost of ownership and increased vehicle uptime. Har
