YMX partners with Orange EV to deploy electric yard trucks
YMX Logistics is a premium provider of outsourced yard logistics services and yard management solutions. “As the logistics industry increasingly embraces electrification, yard operations have become a focal point for significant, impactful change,” the company states in its press release.
There is no mention of where exactly the electric vehicles will be deployed or when they will be delivered. The companies also keep the value of the order under wraps.
It is also not clear which model has been ordered. Orange EV has two models in its portfolio. The HUSK-e comes with a 243 kWh battery and can be fully charged in approximately two hours at a rate of 105 kW. The e-TRIEVER comes with a “battery sized to meet your needs,” according to the website of Orange EV. Here, too, the battery can be charged “in as little as two hours” – but that obviously depends on the size.
Both vehicles are built in Kansas City, Kansas.
“Our collaboration with YMX Logistics represents a powerful stride in delivering sustainable yard solutions at scale for enterprise customers,” said Wayne Mathisen, CEO of Orange EV. “With rising demand for electric yard trucks, our joint efforts ensure that more companies can access the environmental, financial, and operational benefits of electrification. Together, we’re enabling multiple industries, including manufacturing sites, distribution centers, intermodal facilities, and warehouses across North America to significantly reduce their emissions while maintaining peak efficiency.”
“This relationship between YMX and Orange EV is a significant step forward in transforming yard operations across North America. Besides the initial benefits of reduction in emissions and carbon footprint, our customers are also seeing improvements in the overall operational efficiency and seeking to expand. Our team members have also been sharing positive feedback about their new equipment and highlighting the positive impact on their health and day-to-day activities,” said Matt Yearling, CEO of YMX Logistics.
