ITS Technologies and Logistics and Orange EV proved that its battery-electric terminal truck can complete a regular shift on a single charge. The Riverside, Mo.-based Orange EV introduced the new truck in May.

The T-Series is a heavy-duty, battery-electric truck designed to replace diesel-powered trucks for warehouse/transportation, intermodal, manufacturing and parcel delivery terminal operations.

The truck lifted and pulled the gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 81,000 pounds at the site-designated 20 mph, according to the company. The pilot test also made the terminal truck complete 400 total runs and lift oversized loads on a single charge.

The T-Series is a retrofit solution whereby Orange EV converts existing diesel-powered terminal trucks to pure electric, replacing the powertrain and control systems while refurbishing the rest of the truck to like-new condition. This conversion approach recycles and reuses the chassis and other durable components, eliminating waste and extending the life of the truck, the company says.

Are You Tracking Your Fleet's True Total Cost of Ownership?

Bobit Business Media surveyed 190 fleet professionals and found that while most fleets are tracking costs, fragmented systems and data gaps are keeping true TCO visibility out of reach.
