Orange EV reaches 2000 trucks milestone
Orange EV offers what it calls ‘turnkey’ commercial EV solutions. It has a truck portfolio comprised of its e-TRIEVER platform for “warehouse and distribution operations” and the HUSK-e “designed for intensive port and heavy-duty applications”. It also offers batteries, chargers, on-site services, and a repowering service it calls the ‘Orange EV Remanufacturing process’.
According to the Kansas City-based company, its electric terminal trucks have now accumulated more than 12 million operating hours and 33 million miles of service across more than 370 fleets in North America and the Caribbean. The company claims its vehicles achieve an average uptime of around 97 per cent, helping fleet operators reduce downtime in logistics and distribution operations.
This week’s milestone, which saw Orange EV deliver its 2000th truck, marks steady progress for the company. The truck was delivered to Coka Canada Bottling for what Orange EV describes as ‘high-throughput logistics operations’.
The company said that the deployment “expands Coke Canada Bottling’s use of Orange EV zero-emissions electric terminal trucks across facilities in British Columbia and Quebec, reinforcing the company’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions while improving operational efficiencies and meeting the needs of their customers”. The milestone also coincides with Coke Canada Bottling naming the Kansas firm as one of its 2025 Supplier Partner Award winners.
Kurt Neutgens, Co-Founder, President, and CTO of Orange EV, said: “Delivering our 2,000th truck is more than a production milestone, it reflects a broader industry tipping point.
“Having done calculations under real-world conditions and duty cycles, fleet operators are no longer asking whether electric yard trucks can do the job. They are now asking how quickly they can standardize around Orange EV solutions to improve their uptime, predictability, and total cost of ownership.”
