With some 440 hp and nearly 1,200 lb-ft of instant electric torque on-hand, the Harbinger electric delivery van is more than capable of keeping up with modern day traffic. To show off just how capable it is, Harbinger’s marketing team has put together this fun, fictional, high octane voltage chase scene. Electric vehicles have been redefining the high-performance driving scene since the first Tesla Model S drag raced a Corvette on YouTube. Now, as that model drives off to the big garage in the sky, a whole new wave of next-generation of EVs is coming to stake their claim to the outgoing Model S’ high-powered heritage – and that wave seems to include Harbinger’s all-electric commercial delivery vans. That seems to be the message in this recent, Harbinger-produced video, anyway, which highlights the trucks’ rapid acceleration, powerful electric motors, and tight turning radius in a fun, frantic commercial (yes, it’s a commercial).

Harbinger kicked off Work Truck Week 2026 in style with the launch of the HC Series Cab – a totally new medium-duty box truck chassis available in both full BEV and EREV versions and up to 26,000 lbs. of gross vehicle weight rating. Harbinger says its all-new HC Series Cab delivers best-in-class maneuverability with a tight, 42-foot turning circle and superior visibility from a car-like driving position that’s not compromised by the needs of an internal combustion engine, addressing two of the most common issues faced by urban delivery fleets. What’s more, the Harbinger chassis’ ultra-low 29″ frame height at maximum (GVWR) capacity makes entry, exit, and loading impressively easy. “The HC Series Cab represents a major expansion of our product line and a defining moment for the medium-duty industry,” explains Harbinger CEO, John Harris. “For too long, fleets have had to compromise between payload, maneuverability, range and onboard capability. We engineered this platform to outperform legacy [gas and] diesel options while unlocking new advantages through electrification and our range-extended hybrid system to enable real work …
