- Charger Hub takes center stage at Booth 1416, with the full Xos electric portfolio available for review
- Xos team will be available at Booth 1416 throughout GFX 2026 to discuss fleet electrification timelines, total cost of ownership, and infrastructure requirements with public fleet managers
LOS ANGELES, June 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xos, Inc. (NASDAQ: XOS) (“Xos” or the “Company”), a technology company and fleet services provider specializing in battery-electric fleet solutions and mobile energy storage infrastructure, today announced its appearance at the Government Fleet Expo and Conference (GFX) 2026. The event takes place June 9 to 12 at the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, California, where Xos will exhibit at Booth 1416. Xos has served commercial and municipal fleet operators since 2018 and counts among its customers Waymo, Caltrans, FedEx ISPs, UPS, Loomis, and Cintas.
Public fleet managers operate under constraints that commercial fleets rarely face: fixed procurement cycles, tight capital budgets, and accountability to taxpayers. At Booth 1416, Xos has the answers.
Xos at GFX 2026:
- Xos will present its full product portfolio at GFX, including the Charger Hub mobile and stationary energy storage system, which allows public fleets to add charging capacity without costly grid upgrades or utility interconnection delays.
- The Company’s electric powertrains are integrated into electric school buses operating across school districts in North America, providing a field-validated proof point of Xos’s ability to supply drivetrain technology at scale for vehicle manufacturers and OEM partners.
- Xos electric step vans and Class 8 trucks serve customers with demanding duty cycles in last-mile delivery and regional haul operations, accumulating millions of miles in commercial service with fleet operators including UPS, FedEx, and Cintas.
- Government fleet managers face a distinct set of procurement constraints, budget cycles, and uptime requirements. Xos vehicles and energy systems are purpose-built for reliability and total cost of ownership, two of the most critical metrics for public sector fleet decisions.
- GFX 2026 marks Xos’s first appearance at the conference, a deliberate step to engage directly with municipal, state, and federal fleet decision-makers as public agencies advance their electrification commitments under local and state zero-emission mandates.
“Government fleets are some of the most demanding operators in the country, and they deserve the same access to proven electric technology that commercial fleets have had for years. At Xos, we have built products that perform in the real world, not just on spec sheets. GFX is where we connect with the people making those fleet decisions, and we are ready to show them what electricity can actually do,” said Dakota Semler, Chief Executive Officer of Xos.
GFX 2026 arrives as public agencies across the country face mounting pressure to meet zero-emission targets with budgets and infrastructure that were never designed for electrification. With the Xos Hub™ removing the grid upgrade barrier, field-validated powertrain technology already in service in public sector vehicles, and a team that has worked with municipal and government operators since 2018, Xos steps onto the GFX floor for the first time with experience that speaks directly to the challenges public fleet managers face today.
Fleet managers and procurement officers interested in meeting with Xos at GFX 2026 can visit Booth 1416 during Expo Hall hours, June 9 to 12, at the Long Beach Convention Center. To schedule a meeting in advance, contact the team at Marketing@xostrucks.com or visit www.xostrucks.com.
