Trucking startup Harbinger is accelerating its market diversification by extending its state-of-the-art electric vehicle platform into the emergency services sector. In a strategic move, the company has secured a new agreement with the venerable emergency vehicle manufacturer Frazer to integrate its flexible chassis design into ambulances and larger mobile healthcare units.

Strategic Expansion Into Critical Services

Agreement marks Harbinger’s entry into the emergency services segment. The company is extending its platform to use cases beyond logistics and last-mile delivery. Electric and hybrid systems are gaining adoption in specialized vehicle categories. Shift comes as manufacturers adjust to changes in the U.S. vehicle market.

Innovative Platform Underpins Versatility

At the core of Harbinger’s breakthrough is its revolutionary chassis platform. As explained by co-founder and CEO John Harris in an exclusive interview, the design offers significant adaptability. Capable of being resized to fit varying customer requirements and customizable with an optional combustion engine for added range, the platform now powers products ranging from RVs produced with THOR Industries to FedEx delivery vans, small box trucks, and the recently announced ambulances.

Energy Storage And Efficiency Gains

The Frazer said the hybrid system reduces the total cost of ownership and improves vehicle uptime. Target users include municipalities, emergency services and healthcare providers. Vehicles use battery-based auxiliary power units instead of traditional generators. The system supports medical equipment without relying on the main engine.

Driving The Future Of Mobility

Harbinger said its platform maintains about 99.5% part commonality across configurations. Standardization supports production efficiency and scalability. The company is targeting sectors such as ambulances, where demand is driven by operational requirements and regulatory changes. California regulations on gas generators are accelerating the adoption of alternative power systems.

A Cast Built For International Sales

Alongside Owen, the film stars Alex Pettyfer (Magic Mike, The Butler, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare) and Reda Elazouar (Sex Education, The Family Plan). The cast also includes Ronan Summers, Jake Ryan, Mark Rhino Smith, Joey Ansah, Alex Cooke and Luke Bouchier.

The screenplay is by Richard Hughes and Bennett Fisher. Copper Island’s Matt Murphy, David Mansfield and Luke Bouchier are producing, while WestEnd Films is handling international sales. The company is expected to present the first footage at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.

A Survival Thriller

Scorpion follows Jason, a rookie police officer assigned to an elite special operations unit made up of Afghanistan war veterans. After arriving at an isolated farmhouse, the team is cut off from the outside world and given an ultimatum: every 30 minutes one member will die unless someone reveals the truth about a covert military operation carried out years earlier.

Cyprus’ Role In The Production

The production credited the Cyprus Film Commission for its support, with Copper Island founder Matt Murphy thanking both the commission and the local crew.

Owen also praised the experience of filming in Cyprus, describing the local crew as highly professional and highlighting the island’s diverse filming locations.

Copper Island Expands Its International Portfolio

Limassol-based Copper Island has worked on several international productions, including The Leader, which premiered at Tribeca, as well as Gus Van Sant’s Dead Man’s Wire and Ron Howard’s Eden.

The company is also supporting Cypriot productions, including Apart by Stelana Kliridou and The Well by Marios Piperides, which is completing post-production in Limassol.

Matt Murphy is also serving as executive producer of the upcoming Anxious People, starring Angelina Jolie.
