CORONA, Calif. — Envirotech Vehicles, Inc. (OTCQX:EVTV), a provider of new zero-emission, purpose-built electric vehicles, has announced it will open its first U.S.-based, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Arkansas. The company has entered into a purchase agreement for a facility in Arkansas and expects to commence operations during the first quarter of 2022.
Accesswire reports Phillip Oldridge, CEO of Envirotech Vehicles, commented, “We are excited to announce the purchase of EVTV’s first U.S.-based manufacturing facility. It has been a longstanding goal of our Company to manufacture our vehicles here in the U.S., and we are gratified to have received tremendous support from the state of Arkansas. Not only does Arkansas provide us with a robust business climate and highly capable workforce, but the facility’s proximity to all forms of transportation is also well-suited for the efficient transport of our electric trucks and vans.”
“The business climate in Arkansas continues to sell itself, and with a continued focus on reducing the tax burden, it’s no surprise that companies like Envirotech Vehicles have chosen to locate in our state,” said Secretary of Commerce Mike Preston. “Electric vehicle demand will only continue to grow, and I’m delighted that Arkansas is continuing to gain a foothold in the market.”
