Lightning eMotors vehicles, equipment go to auction

Electric vehicles lined up for auction from Lightning eMotors

Lightning eMotors' vehicles, parts, tools and equipment will be offered at auction May 30, Tiger Group says. 

The Colorado-based company converted conventional internal combustion vehicles to zero-emission electric vehicles (EVs) for fleets. It ceased operations after it entered receivership and was purchased by a third party. The timed, online auction of assets from Lightning eMotors starts Thursday at 10 a.m. MT. Bidding ends May 30 at 10 a.m. MT. All assets are sold as-is, where-is, without representations or warranties. 

"Lightning eMotors developed an efficient process for adding new drivetrains, electric motors and battery packs to existing chassis," says Chad Farrell, managing director of Tiger Commercial & Industrial. "Fleet operators can achieve their ESG goals or just run cleaner by acquiring select groupings of assets in this sale. It's a great opportunity." 

The late-model EVS include 2021-2023 Chevrolet Express 4500 Cutaways, Ford F450 box trucks, Ford F350 transit cargo vans, GMC 4500 box trucks, school buses, shuttle buses and trailers. Also available are two dynamometers, a 2021 MAE Mustang MD-250-HD-AC-200HP, still in the crate, and a 2021 MAE Mustang advanced engineering two-wheel drive chassis dynamometer. 

The auction also includes electric motors, gearboxes, batteries, wiring harnesses, connectors, automotive parts, machine shop equipment, a Bescutter Fly Pro 3015 fiber laster metal sheet and pipe cutter, office and plant equipment, and more.
