CINCINNATI, Aug. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Workhorse Group Inc. (NASDAQ: WKHS), an American technology company focused on providing electric mobility solutions to the transportation sector, today announced that Brink's has purchased two Workhorse Class 5 E-GEN and E-100 chassis, paired with a Brink's custom logistics body.
