Envirotech Vehicles Announces Strategic Hiring and Realignment Among Leadership Team

OSCEOLA, AR / ACCESSWIRE / July 18, 2023 / Envirotech Vehicles, Inc. (NASDAQ:EVTV), a provider of new zero-emission, purpose-built electric vehicles ("EVTV" or "the Company"), announced the hiring of Richard Ross as Executive Vice President of EVTV North America and Greg Miros as Vice President of Sales. In addition, Susan Emry, Executive Vice President of EVTV, was named Overseas Strategy Officer. Together, Ross and Miros will collaborate to drive increased sales in EVTV's U.S. markets, while Emry will lead the Company's efforts in EVTV's burgeoning Asia Pacific business.

Phillip Oldridge, Chief Executive Officer of Envirotech Vehicles, commented, " Having been in the Arkansas/mid-south dealership industry for many, many decades, Richard is in our view the ideal individual to help place more vehicles into the region's fleet owners. Knowing who your customers are before they even start to look at electric mobility solutions only comes with decades of experience, and this is exactly the invaluable asset we feel we gain by bringing Richard onto our team. Greg is a dynamic and accomplished sales professional who we believe will compliment Richard perfectly in his new role. He too brings an extensive network in Arkansas and the region, and we are confident that his track record of driving multi-million-dollar sales growth and providing award-winning leadership can quickly benefit EVTV."

Richard Ross continued, "The transition to green mobility is here for fleet owners big and small, but we believe the vast majority need vehicles for the everyday worker. This means dependable and cost effective solutions, which is exactly what EVTV offers with its product line-up. I am thrilled to be expanding my relationship with Phil by joining the team at Envirotech to help scale up the business even more quickly."

Greg Miros added, "I look forward to bringing my 30+ years of experience in implementing sales, distribution, and marketing initiatives to help drive revenues and profitability for EVTV. The Company has an excellent product in a market segment that is hot today, but in order to maximize our potential, awareness and education are critical, and I am excited to play an integral role in identifying and executing on the optimal growth opportunities for EVTV."

Susan Emry concluded, "Having spent significant time over the past approximately six months in the Asia Pacific region, I look forward to capitalizing on the relationships Phil and I have been cultivating to turn our visions and plans into reality by executing on our international manufacturing and sales strategy to help EVTV become a truly global company."
