Chace is a truck driver with 14 years of experience.

Chace and Eric hauled started their own trucking company in their 4th year of university by restoring a 1969 Kenworth.

The trucking company transitioned to hauling and installing electrical generation systems to designing and engineering hybrid diesel electric power systems.

Never letting go of his passion for trucking, restoring classic trucks and driving Chace was the one who came up with the idea of Edison Motors by combining their hybrid power systems with the classic trucks they restored.

ABOUT EDISON MOTORS

Built by Truckers for Truckers

Edison Motors was founded by Chace Barber and Eric Little who entered their business partnership in 2016 after graduating university and starting a trucking company with a 1969 Kenworth 5 axle Logging Truck (Old Blue). They began hauling logs in Merritt, BC. moved to hauling mining equipment into the Yukon and then expanded to moving drilling rigs in Alberta before returning back to BC Logging.

The business grew, more trucks were added and due to the frustration in serviceability of newer trucks the partners started rebuilding older trucks from the frame rails up to use in their own trucking operation instead of buying new truck. The business grew and expanded to hauling and installing power generation systems. In 2019 this added business aspect and growth to taking on the role of engineering and designing off-grid solar hybrid power systems. After their first successful project design and construction of a first nations community in northern BC Canada, Eric and Chace started to engineering process of a diesel-electric semi truck using the same principles.

After reserving a Tesla semi in 2017 and not receiving the truck for 4 years, in 2021 they decided to start building their own electric trucks because that was quicker than waiting for the Tesla delivery and resulted in designing of a more robust truck tailored to the logging and heavy vocational industries their trucking company operated in.

The Edison Truck is the result of a trucking company who remanufactured classic logging trucks with their engineering expertise of off-grid hybrid power systems. It is the aim of Edison Team to have the reliability and serviceability of a classic semi with the efficiency, power, and emissions standards of an electric truck.

This historic site, once the original headquarters of C.P. Rail in the 1800s, is now set to become a cutting-edge manufacturing hub for electric semi-trucks and pickups.

Property Highlights:

• Massive 300-Acre Site: Plenty of room for our factory, test track, and future expansion.

• Built-in Test Track: Gravel extraction pays for our track construction while reducing costs!

• Log Yard & Rail Access: Direct connections to major rail lines and a log reload yard for extra revenue.

• Natural Resources: Freshwater wells, septic systems, and plenty of flat land for development.

• Historic & Strategic Location: Rooted in history but ready for the future of clean tech innovation.

Why This Matters: Thanks to our amazing community of investors, we're taking this monumental step toward full-scale production. Your belief in our mission has made this possible. We're beyond excited to bring this dream to life — and it's only the beginning!
