Cenntro reports 20 electric truck deliveries and over $2.44M in revenue

Cenntro says it delivered 20 LS450 electric trucks in the United States under the New York Truck Voucher Incentive Program, known as NYTVIP. The company reported more than $2.44 million in revenue from those deliveries in its November 3 announcement.

Those are the two numbers to keep together: 20 vehicles delivered and more than $2.44 million in reported revenue. This is a delivery announcement, not simply a reservation count or a statement that a truck has become eligible for a program.

Revenue is not the voucher amount

The revenue figure should not be presented as the amount New York paid in incentives. The source notes establish that the trucks were delivered under NYTVIP. They do not break out the voucher paid on each truck, the customer contribution or the final cost of a particular body configuration.

For the same reason, this announcement is not a clean price list. Dividing reported revenue by the delivery count would not establish the price a different fleet would pay. Incentive eligibility and the commercial terms of a truck purchase need to be checked separately.

Other programs are a different stage

Cenntro also said it planned deliveries under the New York City Clean Trucks Program. Its release listed the LS450 for California’s commercial truck rebate program and New Jersey’s Zero Emission Incentive Program. Planned deliveries and program listings are not additional completed deliveries in this count.

That is a useful distinction for anyone tracking electric commercial vehicle adoption. A program can make a vehicle eligible, a customer can place an order, and the manufacturer can later report a delivery. Only the last of those is what the 20-truck figure in this announcement describes.

Our take

The practical value here is evidence of trucks moving through an incentive-backed purchase process. It does not settle the larger questions about utilization, charging or operating cost. Those need fleet-level results, and the source notes do not supply them.

For a buyer, the next step is to check the current program rules and vehicle listing, not assume that the terms behind these deliveries still apply. Our incentives tracker keeps its recorded check date visible for exactly that reason. The delivery count belongs in the news; a current incentive quote belongs with the program administrator and dealer.
