ZM Trucks has introduced the T75 Battery-Electric Terminal Tractor, a zero-emission, heavy-duty vehicle designed for ports, warehouses, and distribution yards in North America.
The debut of the T75 highlights some ways that electrification is advancing sustainability in heavy-duty operations, according to a company news release.
Unlike diesel retrofits, the T75 was built as a fully electric platform. It features a 75-mile operational range, a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 165,350 pounds, and an 80,000-pound fifth wheel lifting capacity.
The truck’s dual-gun DC fast-charging system can recharge the battery from 20% to 80% in about 42 minutes, providing uptime comparable to diesel models.

“This isn’t just a diesel truck with a battery pack,” said Joost de Vries, CEO of ZM Trucks, in a release.
“The T75 was engineered from scratch to be electric, rugged enough for long shifts, smart enough for modern fleet management, and clean enough to meet today’s zero-emission goals.”
The T75 produces 415 peak horsepower and up to 2,802 lb.-ft. of torque. Standard safety features include a full ABS air brake system, LED exterior lighting and halogen headlights. The cab is equipped with a 10-inch LCD dashboard, a full HVAC system, 360-degree cameras and ergonomic controls.
Optional equipment includes a central lubrication system and a hydraulic package for powering off-road trailers.
The tractor also comes with a telematics package and a high-capacity electrical system designed to handle intensive duty cycles.
Equipped with dual-gun DC fast charging, the T75 can recharge from 20% to 80% in just 42 minutes, keeping yard operations moving with minimal downtime.
