GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The order marks Harbinger's largest bulk deal to date, suggesting its focused strategy of building a single electric truck chassis is gaining traction with major commercial customers. FedEx's continued backing, both as investor and buyer, could give Harbinger the revenue and credibility to expand into new areas like hybrid emergency vehicles, autonomous driving, and defense applications, and may support the company's reported consideration of an IPO.
