The Endurance was originally planned by the company to enter production in 2020, which was delayed to 2021,[2] and in October 2021, was delayed to April 2022, following the September news that the Lordstown auto plant was to be sold to Foxconn.[3]

History

Development began as the Workhorse W-15 in 2016.[4] The W-15 was transferred to Lordstown, and Lordstown licensed its technology.[5] The W-15 forms the basis of the Endurance.[6]

In the second half of December 2019, the automotive startup Lordstown Motors, established in autumn 2019, presented the first preliminary information about its vehicle. The electric pickup truck was named Lordstown Endurance, adopting an avant-garde design that combines the classic proportions of a semi-truck with lighting that forms a single line with embossing.[7]

In mid-June 2020, Lordstown presented the first official sketches showing the appearance of the Endurance passenger compartment,[8] while the world premiere of the pickup took place on June 25 of the same year.

In June 2021, company officials said they planned begin production in the fall 2021, even though the company had no firm orders for the truck, but that they had sufficient capital to produce into 2022. The company warned however that is had experienced difficulty securing sufficient funding to begin full production, and stated that the US$587 million it reported in its latest quarterly SEC filing would not be enough to get to "full commercial production."[2]

By October 2021, the announced production date for the Endurance had been delayed until April 2022, following the September news that the Lordstown auto plant would be sold to Foxconn for $280 million.[3]

Production plans

Production of the Endurance is planned to take place at Lordstown Motors' manufacturing facilities in the village of the same name in the U.S. state of Ohio, where the General Motors factory was once located.[9] Originally, production was to start in 2020, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was decided to be postponed to 2021,[10] and in June 2021, this was pushed back to fall 2021 following revelations about a lack of confirmed orders.[2]
