HEVI Corp., a manufacturer of all-electric heavy equipment, announced it is partnering with Assurant, Inc., a global business services company that supports, protects, and connects major consumer purchases like automobiles, as well as commercial equipment including heavy construction, agriculture and forestry equipment.
