LORDSTOWN – Lordstown Motors Corp. will host investors, auto analysts, customers and partners next month to tour its factory, the former General Motors assembly plant, and test drive its battery-powered truck, the Endurance.

The startup electric truck today announced the weeklong event that will start June 21 in what appears to be attempt to boost confidence in the company, shaken by a biting short-sellers report in March that has led to several class action lawsuits and the freefall of its stock. The company is also the subject of a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission probe.

It gives the parties the opportunity to speak with company executives and tour the 6.2 million-square-foot plant to “experience firsthand how the production team is preparing the plant for the ramp up to be ready for the beginning of early production” of the truck in late September, a release states.

The media has been invited to attend June 21, 22 and 23.
