The Smith Story
Founded in 1920, Smith Electric Vehicles manufactures and markets zero-emission commercial electric vehicles that are designed to be a superior alternative to traditional diesel trucks and provide a lower total cost of ownership.
Our vehicle designs leverage a century of experience in selling and servicing electric vehicles in the UK and US. A major milestone for the company occurred several years ago when it participated in a study conducted by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). Throughout the course of the study, NREL compiled and analyzed data from more than 250 Smith vehicles - learn more about the study here.
We have a proud history of partnering with global leaders across multiple industries: food & beverage, utility, telecommunications, retail, grocery, parcel and postal delivery, school transportation, military and government. Our customers have included many of the world’s largest fleet operators, including PepsiCo’s Frito-Lay division, Staples, Coca-Cola, FedEx and the U.S. Military.
Over the past 10 years Smith has focused on two vehicle platforms the Smith Newton, a medium-duty truck, and the Smith Edison, a light-duty cargo van. The Newton platform can be configured for multiple applications. We are headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri.
