Electric Class 8 Truck

“American Trucker’s” look at electric Class 8 trucks on the horizon.

Orange EV shines as the only OEM with commercially deployed class 8 trucks that are all electric.

“While the all-electric Tesla Semi Truck has made the biggest splash in mainstream media over the past half year, Kenworth already has a fuel-cell-powered electric Class 8 truck on the road in California and Orange EV has a Class 8 yard truck that has been popular with some municipalities.”

Not only popular with municipalities, Orange EV’s heavy-duty battery electric terminal tractors (aka yard trucks, spotters, hostlers, etc.) have been deployed in all sectors of the container-handling market. To name a few:

The Anderson DuBose Company became the first McDonald’s distributor to deploy a 100% electric Class 8 truck to its Rochester, New York distribution center.
Rail Management Services (RMS), a Carrix company, re-ordered nine trucks to be deployed in intermodal rail yards in Chicago and New York.
Dimension Fabricators powers its Orange EV truck with solar energy generated onsite at its Schenectady, New York manufacturing facility.
Sonwil Distribution deployed an Orange EV truck to its 300,000 square foot warehouse and distribution center to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and help achieve sustainability goals.
DHL Supply Chain has a 100% electric Chicago-area terminal truck fleet, and has shared their experience and cost savings with Orange EV trucks.

Commercially deployed since 2015, Orange EV’s Class 8 yard truck fleet has achieved unparalleled milestones in the industry. See the American Trucker slideshow for other electric trucks that may soon debut.
