Edison Motors is a Canadian electric truck manufacturing startup company based in British Columbia, specializing in plug-in diesel–electric series hybrid technology for semi-truck prime-mover tractor units, full-size solid axle drive trucks, and heavy solid-axle pickup trucks, combining a generator with electric drive motors and batteries. The company was founded in October of 2021 by Eric Little and Chace Barber and is a spin-off of SEI Logistics, a solar energy innovations company. Founded with the idea to use train locomotive diesel-electric technology on forestry logging trucks, where climbing mountains empty and coming down fully loaded would make for net-zero energy use, with downhill regenerative recharging the battery power used to climb, and electric torque would obviate need for a giant diesel engine. Diesel generators and large fuel tanks would make range anxiety a non-issue.
