An online auction provides fleet operators, repair shops, carmakers, and other potential buyers the opportunity to acquire electric vehicles (EVs), parts, tools, equipment, and other assets formerly owned by Lightning eMotors. The Colorado-based company converted conventional, fossil fuel-burning vehicles into zero-emission EVs for fleet-operating customers, including municipalities, school systems, and medical businesses. Its operations were not continued after it entered receivership and was purchased by a third party.
“Lightning eMotors developed an efficient process for adding new drivetrains, electric motors, and battery packs to existing chassis,” explained Mike Farrell, Managing Director, Tiger Group. “Fleet operators can achieve their ESG goals or just run cleaner by acquiring select groupings of assets in this sale. It’s a great opportunity.”
The auction of assets from the 250,000-square-foot facility closes on October 5th, at 10:00 AM MST. Bidding opens September 26th, at 10:00 AM MST. All assets will be sold as-is, where-is without representations or warranties.
The late-model EVs (2021-2023) include:
* Chevrolet Express 4500 Cutaways
* Ford F450 box trucks
* Ford F350 transit cargo vans
* GMC 4500 box trucks
* School and shuttle buses
* Trailers
Also available are two dynamometers—a still-in-the-crate 2021 MAE Mustang MD-250-HD-AC-200HP EOL chassis dynamometer with pop-up restraints, and a 2021 MAE Mustang advanced engineering 2-wheel drive chassis dynamometer.
“We anticipate strong interest in these pieces among automotive dealers and repair shops—any potential buyer with a need to test engines,” Farrell said.
Other highlights include:
* A variety of EV chargers
* A large inventory of EV parts
* A selection of tools and equipment
