Governor DeWine Announces More than 400 New Jobs for Tuscarawas County

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Lt. Governor Jon Husted joined Battle Motors, JobsOhio, Team Northeast Ohio (NEO), and the Tuscarawas County Economic Development Corporation to announce the addition of 434 new manufacturing jobs for Tuscarawas County.

The new jobs follow the recent expansion of Battle Motors' electric vehicle production facility in New Philadelphia. Formerly known as Crane Carrier Company, Battle Motors manufactures heavy-duty vocational trucks, including a fully electric chassis, for refuse, recycling, infrastructure maintenance, ground support, agriculture, delivery, and general freight.

"Ohio is quickly becoming a powerhouse in the world of electric vehicles, and it's great to see that Battle Motors is bringing on more staff to support its important role in the heavy-duty truck market," said Governor DeWine. "There is no better place to be right now than in Ohio, and this is another example of how the state's strong economy is helping businesses thrive and bringing new opportunities for citizens."
