Walker Electric Truck

Walker Electric Trucks were battery-powered vehicles built from 1907 to 1942 in Chicago, Illinois and Detroit, Michigan.

In addition to the trucks the company manufactured the Chicago Electric Car.

[2] According to Jay Christ's Collection of Antique Delivery Trucks and Classic Cars in Manchester, Pennsylvania, that has restored two Walker Electric Trucks—a 1919 Model LA-10, and a 1938 Model 500 Gas-Electric Dynamotive: Walker manufactured many different models of trucks and these trucks were sold all across the USA and even to Britain and New Zealand.

These trucks had a 3.5 HP electric motor that was powered by many batteries to produce 66 to 80 volts and a maximum of 40 amps.

The horses were loyal in the task of pulling the wagons but their pace was slow compared the trucks.
