Orange EV builds, sells and services industrial electric vehicles for some of the most successful companies in the world. Orange EV is the leading OEM providing heavy duty electric vehicle solutions to industrial fleets that do the same work while eliminating diesel fuel and emissions. Building both new and remanufactured vehicles, Orange EV and the T-Series have achieved a series of industry firsts:
- first to commercially deploy 100% electric Class 8 electric vehicles into container handling operations
- first approved for sale as a heavy duty electric vehicle in California
- first approved for and funded under regional and national incentive programs
- first to cost parity so fleets can deploy electric trucks using budgets planned for diesels
- first with hard data from a deployed fleet that demonstrates truck endurance, cost savings and more
Orange EV's first offering was the pure electric terminal truck designed with configuration options to ensure the truck got the job done while helping fleets manage cost. We introduced the electric terminal truck as a complete remanufacture of existing trucks, reusing and giving a second life to durable elements like the cab and frame. Then we started building all new trucks while continuing to innovate and improve the product lines. In the process Orange EV became the first U.S. company to build, commercially deploy and service 100% electric Class 8 Heavy Duty trucks.
Orange EV’s values derive from the need to build a business and products of which both we and our customers can be proud. It is important to us that what we do, and how we do it, is accomplished with thought and integrity to deliver value and earn our customers every day.
