Electrification Lunch & Learn
Intro to Electric Vehicles in Logistics
Join Orange EV and the Savannah Harbor Innovation Partnership during SCALE Week on April 15 from 10:30 AM – 2:00 PM for an exclusive Electrification Lunch & Learn focused on the future of electric vehicles in logistics. This executive session will bring together leaders across the Savannah logistics community to explore how fleets and terminal operators are approaching electrification today and what it means for operations, infrastructure planning, and long-term performance.
Attendees will gain practical insight into how electric yard trucks are being deployed in real-world logistics environments and how fleets are evaluating electrification strategies across their operations.

What to Expect
This two-hour session will include:

• Interactive conversation with industry experts
Electric terminal trucks are increasingly being deployed at distribution centers, ports, and rail yards to support demanding yard operations. Orange EV was the first company to commercially deploy electric terminal trucks in the United States and continues to work with fleets across North America as they transition to electric yard operations.
Live Electric Terminal Truck Demo
During the event, attendees will have the opportunity to see an Orange EV electric terminal truck in action and learn how purpose-built electric yard trucks are supporting modern logistics operations.
This demonstration will provide a closer look at how fleets are using electric terminal trucks to move trailers efficiently across yards while improving driver experience and reducing operational costs.
