InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips
Vicinity Motor (NASDAQ:VEV) stock is taking off on Monday after the electric vehicle (EV) company announced a massive new order.
Pioneer Auto Group is behind this order with a request for more than $100 million worth of the company’s VMC 1200 Class 3 Electric Trucks. It’s worth noting that Pioneer Auto Group is the exclusive dealer for Vicinity Motor in British Columbia, Canada.
Vicinity Motor notes that the purchase order covers a minimum of 1,000 of its EVs. The company has until the end of 2023 to complete the order and intends to start deliveries this month. Vicinity Motor is benefiting from its VMC supply chain not facing restrictions right now.
Increasing Demand Explains the New Order
Pioneer Auto Group’s Ray Van Empel went into detail about this in a statement.
“We continue to see intense customer demand for class 3 commercial EVs, a segment that was largely unfilled prior to the arrival of the VMC 1200. This purchase order is a clear sign of our confidence not only in our sales capabilities at Pioneer Auto Group, but in the superiority of Vicinity’s product.”
News of the order has VEV stock seeing heavy trading on Monday. As of this writing, more than 13 million shares of the stock have changed hands. That’s quite the jump from its daily average trading volume of about 455,000 shares.
VEV stock is up 7.9% as of Monday morning and saw larger gains in early morning trading.
