Orange EV, a manufacturer of electric terminal trucks in North America has announced the deployment of its 2,000th vehicle.
The EV was delivered to Coke Canada Bottling, one of Canada's largest beverage manufacturers and distributors.
"Delivering our 2,000th truck is more than a production milestone, it reflects a broader industry tipping point," said Kurt Neutgens, Co-Founder, president, and chief technology officer of Orange EV. "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."
Orange EV's electric yard trucks have now surpassed more than 12 million hours running and 53 million kilometres of operation across over 370 fleets operating in more than 4 Canadian provinces, 41 U.S. states, and the Caribbean. The trucks have an average uptime rate of approximately 97%.
Orange EV's electric terminal trucks operate across distribution centres, logistics hubs, ports and intermodal facilities throughout North America, including some of Canada's most challenging winter environments.
The trucks are being implemented to reduce exposure to diesel fuel price volatility, lowering maintenance-related disruptions, and improving day-to-day operational reliability, while each truck eliminates an estimated 80 to 90 tons of CO₂ emissions annually compared to diesel yard trucks, according to Orange EV.
The 2,000th terminal truck deployment coincides with Coke Canada Bottling naming Orange EV one of its 2025 supplier partner award winners.
"As a family-owned, generational business, we are proud to continue growing our electric fleet and advancing opportunities to reduce our carbon emissions while managing our environmental footprint," says Tony Chow, president, Coke Canada Bottling. "We are pleased to partner with Orange EV and congratulate their team as they achieve this exciting milestone."
