Orange EV Secures Historic 600-Truck Deal, Signals Mass Market Shift

Key Details Orange EV announced record order volume in June, highlighted by a single 600-truck purchase - the largest in company history. Full deployment of this fleet is expected by 2026, with deliveries already underway. The manufacturer also reported more than 1,900 units currently in service across North America. Why It Matters This milestone signals the industry is moving beyond pilot programs into large-scale electrification. Customers are now committing to hundreds of units after proving electric yard trucks deliver superior total cost of ownership through fuel savings, reliability, and reduced maintenance. The Bottom Line Orange EV projects capturing over 25% of new terminal truck orders by year-end. The company's Kansas City facility can produce 2,400 trucks annually on a single shift, with room to expand. With 33.8 million operational miles logged and leasing activity up 272% over the past year, electric yard tractors are becoming the standard choice for fleet operators managing yard operations and intermodal terminals.
