Harbinger Expands EV Platform Into Ambulances With Frazer Deal

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.

Eurobank Wins Two Euromoney Awards Following Cyprus Merger

Eurobank has been named Cyprus’ Best Bank for 2026 by Euromoney, while also receiving the award for Best Bank for Large Corporates at the publication’s latest Awards for Excellence.

Merger Marks A Milestone

The awards recognise the bank’s performance during 2025, a year marked by the completion of the legal merger between Hellenic Bank and Eurobank Cyprus. The transaction created Eurobank Limited, which the group says is now Cyprus’ largest banking and insurance organisation, with assets exceeding €28 billion.

Euromoney’s Awards for Excellence evaluate banks’ performance over the previous calendar year, with this edition covering January 1 to December 31, 2025.

Lending, Customers And Digital Growth

Eurobank said its business lending portfolio expanded by around 17 per cent during 2025, while its customer base grew to more than 710,000 retail clients and 11,500 business customers.

The bank also continued its digital expansion, saying more than 96 per cent of transactions are now completed through digital channels, and most financing applications are submitted via its mobile app.

Expanding International Presence

Eurobank also highlighted the opening of its first representative office in India, describing the move as a step toward strengthening business links between Cyprus and India while supporting Cyprus’ role as a gateway to the European Union for Indian businesses and investors.

According to the bank, Euromoney recognised not only the successful completion of the merger but also its lending growth, digital transformation and contribution to Cyprus’ position as an international business and investment hub.

CEO On The Awards

“The Euromoney awards confirm Eurobank’s strong momentum and the successful implementation of our group’s strategy in Cyprus,” Chief Executive Michalis Louis said.

He said the merger strengthened the bank’s ability to support households, businesses and the wider economy, while highlighting continued investment in digital services and the opening of the representative office in India as key milestones during the year.
