Orange EV announced the production of its 1,000^th pure-electric terminal truck, solidifying its position as the industry-leading manufacturer of zero emission, heavy-duty trucks. The 1,000th truck will join the expanding fleet of Orange EV electric trucks currently owned and operated by Lazer Logistics, the pioneer in efficient, innovative, end-to-end yard management solutions.“One thousand heavy-duty EV trucks is a testament to the growing demand for sustainable transportation solutions and the impact we can make by electrifying the terminal truck industry”

Orange EV started the EV terminal truck revolution in 2015 as the first manufacturer to commercially deploy a heavy-duty electric truck, proving it was possible to push the industry to a more sustainable future. Over 8 years, 11.8 million miles, and 4 million hours of operation, Orange EV has set new industry standards for performance, reliability, and sustainability. Orange EV has provided more than 230 fleets with turnkey, cost-saving solutions, delivering electric yard trucks that average more than 98% uptime.

Lazer Logistics is North America’s largest provider of outsourced yard management, trailer spotting, and shuttling services, and with more than 6 years of experience operating Orange EV trucks, is the industry leader in electrifying yard operations. Committed to saving customers money while reducing their carbon footprint, Lazer has rapidly expanded their electric terminal truck fleet (aka spotters, yard trucks), in the United States and Canada.

“Lazer provides unequaled, end-to-end solutions for our customers in all aspects of yard operations. We are always proactively looking for ways to drive more value to our customers and help them meet their company goals. Six years ago, one of our clients asked if we could help them meet their sustainability goals to electrify their yard. After doing some research we chose to partner with Orange EV, the pioneering manufacturer of electric yard trucks,” said Lazer Logistics CEO Adam Newsome. “We have a long, successful relationship with Orange EV, having purchased both their 200^th truck and now their 1,000th. The partnership exemplifies our shared resolve to provide high quality yard trucks, reducing costs and increasing operational efficiencies.”

Lazer will be deploying their newest Orange EV truck to Southern California where it will join their growing fleet of EV vehicles as they help their customers continue to stay out ahead of the requirements of the WAIRE Program and meet their sustainability goals.

Orange EV’s 1,000th electric terminal truck represents a paradigm shift in the industry, redefining the norm and setting new benchmarks by offering the unprecedented combination of increased power, efficiency, cost savings, and significantly reduced environmental impact. Orange EV provides a definitively proven heavy-duty EV solution, signifying a transformative change in container- and trailer-handling operations.

“One thousand heavy-duty EV trucks is a testament to the growing demand for sustainable transportation solutions and the impact we can make by electrifying the terminal truck industry,” said Kurt Neutgens, President and CTO of Orange EV. “We are thrilled to celebrate this milestone achievement with Lazer Logistics, a company that shares our commitment to reduce environmental impacts, provide a safer and healthier environment for operators, and improve our end-customers’ bottom line.”
