Lordstown Motors, the struggling electric truck startup, said that it has no firm orders for its vehicles, backtracking on assurances it made earlier this week that the company had enough committed buyers for its pickup truck to keep production going through 2022.

But on Thursday, the company clarified those statements in a filing with the Securities and Exchange commission.
“We have no binding purchase orders or commitments from customers.”
