(NASDAQ:VEV)(TSXV:VMC) (“Vicinity” or the “Company”), a North American supplier of commercial electric vehicles, today announced the receipt of a Certificate of Occupancy from the City of Ferndale for its newly constructed, state-of-the-art, 100,000 square foot U.S. Manufacturing Campus in Ferndale, Washington.

It is anticipated that vehicle assembly in Ferndale will begin in the first half of 2023.
As previously announced, the Ferndale Campus is located near the Company’s Headquarters in Aldergrove, British Columbia, with easy access to port, rail, and truck shipping and receiving facilities. Operations at the Ferndale Campus will include vehicle assembly and upfitting, “Buy America” compliant assembly, pre-delivery inspections, research and development, as well as general technical and servicing work.

“This Certificate of Occupancy represents the final governmental verification and approval to commence production at our new Ferndale Campus,” said William Trainer, Chief Executive Officer of Vicinity Motor Corp. “We have finished installation of an electrical solution on-site and are in the process of certifying our 4.2 acre Campus as a Free Trade Zone, allowing Vicinity to utilize this state-of-the-art campus to assemble and deliver vehicles for the entirety of the North American market.
“The startup of the Ferndale Campus will allow us to more aggressively tackle the fulfillment of our growing order backlog which, as of today, exceeds US$150 million. I look forward to the continued ramp of our U.S. operations as we strive to create sustainable, long-term value for my fellow shareholders,” concluded Trainer.
