VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 26, 2022 / Vicinity Motor Corp. (NASDAQ:VEV)(TSXV:VMC)(FRA:6LGA) ("Vicinity" or the "Company"), a North American supplier of commercial electric vehicles, today announced it has entered into an investor relations agreement with MarketSmart Communications Inc. pursuant to which MarketSmart will provide Canadian investor relations (IR) services to Vicinity.
"Our 2022 near-term commercial electric vehicle sales momentum is accelerating, and we are looking forward to working with MarketSmart to help share our progress with forward-thinking investors throughout Canada," said William Trainer, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Vicinity Motor Corp.

Adrian Sydenham, President and a Director of MarketSmart Communications, stated: "Vicinity is the dominant Canadian supplier in the mid-sized heavy duty bus market - having received numerous awards and accolades for its products. Over the last year, the Company has transitioned its strong product development and marketing platform to collaborate with world-class partners to expand its EV product lines into exciting new market segments.
"Commercial EV adoption is set to increase as manufacturers offer increasingly competitive products and governments implement stricter policies, increase charging infrastructure and offer incentives. Vicinity's C$140 million 2022 revenue guidance and expanding lineup of commercial EVs, combined with growing manufacturing capacity and distribution, is an exciting story to share with the investment community," concluded Sydenham.
