This significant achievement allows Workhorse to expand its reach to government, educational, and nonprofit sectors within all 50 states and Canada.
Sourcewell is a government agency created by the Minnesota legislature as a local unit of government (Minn. Const. art. XII, sec. 3) and serves as a service cooperative. Sourcewell is dedicated to streamlining the procurement process and combines the purchasing power of numerous agencies into a single cooperative group.
