Orange EV has filed an initial order for its T-Series electric terminal truck to be sent to manufacturing and distribution facilities in Chicago, the company announced.
“The market is clearly ready for zero-emission electric trucks, and Orange EV is the only firm with a zero-emission, plug-in terminal truck solution proven to do what customers need,” said Orange EV CEO Mike Saxton.
Orange EV’s electric terminal truck has been tested and proven in a range of fleet operating environments, including LTL freight transportation, distribution, manufacturing, and intermodal services, according to the company. The T-Series truck has also shown in typical applications that it can work for up to 24 hours on a single charge.
