West Seneca, New York, Sept. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Worksport Ltd. (NASDAQ: WKSP) (“Worksport” or the “Company”), a U.S.-based manufacturer and innovator of hybrid and clean energy solutions for the light truck, overlanding, and global consumer goods sectors, is thrilled to announce the release of new tonneau cover applications. These covers are available for various models including but not limited to those from General Motors, Ford, and Hyundai, thereby expanding availability and market reach. This initiative showcases the expertise of Worksport’s engineering team and aligns with the Company’s growth strategy, which reflects its commitment to pursuing market opportunities and establishing a foundation for long-term success and industry leadership.
Engineering Innovation: Aligning with Market Trends
The engineering team at Worksport exemplifies versatility, enabling the Company to respond quickly to market demands with nearly every new truck model release. Over the past six months, Worksport is excited to share that it has expanded its cover lineup, introducing 19 new models, including covers that are compatible with General Motors, Ford, Toyota, Nissan, and Honda trucks. Engineered for durability and tailored to meet the needs of both private and commercial users, Worksport’s Automotive Accessories Division is positioned to explore additional market opportunities. New models include:
- Chevy/GMC: Models for the Canyon/Colorado, 1500, and 2500.
- Ford: Ford Ranger and Ford Super Duty models.
- Toyota: Toyota Tacoma and Toyota Tundra models, including 2024 versions with cargo management.

- Honda: Honda Ridgeline, bed length 5’, model years 2017-2024.
Worksport CEO Steven Rossi shares, “With 16.3 million Ford F-Series trucks on the road, a possibility to capture just 5% of that market at our current AL3 sale price of $699 represents a massive $570 million opportunity for Worksport. This example illustrates the immense potential ahead for Worksport.”
The top 3 selling vehicles in the U.S. — the Ford F-Series, Chevy Silverado, and Ram Pickup — account for over 50% of the top 10 vehicles sold in 2023, with more than 60 million pickup trucks on the road today. The $4 billion tonneau cover market continues to grow, with over 7 million covers sold annually.
Rossi adds “On the technology front, our SOLIS & COR clean energy systems are tapping into a rapidly expanding market with massive potential. The Company is actively building a solid foundation for sustained, long-term growth.”
