Dragonfly Energy secured a purchase order valued at more than $3 million from Stevens Transport, covering deployments throughout 2026. The order includes the company’s full heavy-duty fleet and marks a transition from initial testing to fleet-wide implementation, with systems to be installed across roughly 500 trucks.

The package includes the Battle Born DualFlow Power Pack (12V and 24V), designed to handle sleeper cab hotel loads while protecting starter batteries from deep cycling and idle-related wear. Also included is the company’s all-electric APU, offered in both in-frame and side-box configurations, which supports HVAC and onboard electrical demands without running the engine. A pure sine wave inverter rounds out the system, delivering stable AC power for sensitive electronics and high-demand appliances.

“After partnering with Dragonfly Energy and seeing the performance of their systems across our fleet, expanding to their full product suite was a straightforward decision," said Clay Aaron, President of Stevens Transport. "In a year when every capital dollar counts, these systems are delivering the fuel savings, uptime, and driver satisfaction that justify the investment.”

“We believe this order is a meaningful validation of both the performance and economic value of our technology,” said Denis Phares, CEO of Dragonfly Energy. “Fleet operators are under continued pressure to reduce operating costs while improving reliability and driver experience. Our solutions are engineered to meet those needs, and we believe this level of commitment demonstrates growing confidence in lithium-based hybrid electrification solutions across the trucking industry.”

Deliveries are expected throughout 2026.
