LOS ANGELES, Sept. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xos, Inc. (NASDAQ: XOS) (“Xos” or the “Company”), a leader in electric commercial vehicles and mobile charging solutions, today announced its participation in the APTA TRANSform Conference & EXPO 2026, taking place October 4 to 7 in Chicago, Illinois. Building on its momentum across last-mile, government, and defense fleets, Xos will join the largest gathering of public transportation professionals in North America to showcase the Xos Hub™, its grid-independent mobile energy storage and EV charging solution built to accelerate public fleet electrification.
At the center of the Xos booth, attendees will get a firsthand look at the Xos Hub™, the mobile energy storage system that is redefining how public fleets deploy charging. Instead of waiting on lengthy utility upgrades and construction, transit agencies can bring charging capacity online in days, scale it as their fleets grow, and keep vehicles in service from day one.
At Booth 3609, Xos Will Showcase the Xos Hub™
- Charging that deploys in days, not months: The Xos Hub™ is a grid-independent mobile energy storage system that lets transit agencies stand up charging capacity in days rather than the twelve to eighteen months typical of utility upgrades, removing the single biggest barrier to public fleet electrification.
- Flexible, scalable capacity: Available in 210, 420, and 630 kWh configurations, the Hub scales with an agency's fleet and delivers intelligent load management that protects energy budgets and avoids costly utility penalties.
- Proven reliability at scale: With more than 100 commercial charging deployments supporting the demanding duty cycles of fleet operators, the Hub brings field-validated dependability to the public transit sector.
- On-site product specialists: Ready to walk transit leaders through deployment timelines, total cost of ownership, and how mobile energy storage closes the infrastructure gap that slows fleet electrification.
"At Xos, our mission has always been to make going electric the easy choice for every fleet, no matter how demanding the operation. Public transportation is one of the most important stages for that mission, because when transit agencies electrify, entire communities breathe cleaner air. APTA TRANSform brings together the people shaping the future of mobility, and Xos is proud to be part of that conversation with technology that is proven, practical, and ready to scale," said Dakota Semler, Chief Executive Officer of Xos.
Public transit is electrifying quickly. According to CALSTART's 2025 "Zeroing in on Zero-Emission Buses" report, the number of zero-emission transit buses in the United States grew
Xos's presence at APTA TRANSform underscores its continued commitment to the transportation sector and its strategy of scaling the Xos Hub across the fleets where deployable charging delivers the greatest value. By putting proven, grid-independent technology in front of transit leaders, Xos is reinforcing its role as a partner built to scale alongside the operators it serves. Attendees can experience the Xos Hub and connect with the Xos team at Booth 3609.
