ABOUT SMITH

Overview

Smith Electric Vehicles manufactures and markets zero-emission commercial electric vehicles that are designed to be a superior-performing alternative to traditional diesel trucks due to higher efficiency and lower total cost of ownership.

Our purpose is to provide the visionary leadership to completely and permanently alter the vehicle electrification supply chain.

Our vehicle designs leverage more than 80 years of experience in selling and servicing electric vehicles in the United Kingdom.

We partner with global leaders across multiple industries: food & beverage, utility, telecommunications, retail, grocery, parcel and postal delivery, school transportation, military and government. Our customers include many of the world’s largest fleet operators, including PepsiCo’s Frito-Lay division, TNT, Sainsbury’s, Coca-Cola, DHL, FedEx and the U.S. Military.

Smith Electric Vehicles is a privately held company headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri.  Smith currently designs, produces and sells two vehicles, the Smith Newton and the Smith Edison, both of which can be configured for multiple applications. Smith has manufacturing facilities in Kansas City, Missouri and outside of Newcastle, UK. In 2011, Smith US purchased the zero-emissions vehicle business of the UK-based parent company, which has been in operation in Europe since the 1920s.
