Lordstown Motors founder launches new EV startup with trucks we’ve seen before


Lordstown Motors founder Steve Burns has a new startup that will try and sell an EV pickup built on assets he bought out of bankruptcy.

Steve Burns, a self-described “serial entrepreneur,” bought most of the remaining assets of his former startup late last year as part of the Lordstown’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, including a large chunk of its electric pickup trucks. On a new website for LandX Motors, he says this company will chart “the future of mobility,” and claims he will build a whole lineup of vehicles on the platform that underpins what used to be called the Endurance. Burns and then-chief financial officer Julio Rodriguez resigned after the company’s own internal probe determined that they had, in fact, made misleading statements.
