Early customer interest in the Zevo 600 has been strong, with the first vehicles to be delivered to the first customer, FedEX, by the end of this year. BrightDrop expects to make the Zevo 600 available to more customers to order starting in early 2022. Initial units of the Zevo 600 are being built in an unused area of the GM CAMI Assembly plant in Ingersoll, Ontario while the actual assembly line is being prepared for full series production.
