Overview

Orange EV manufactures purpose-built, zero-emission Class 8 terminal (yard) trucks for ports, rail yards, and logistics facilities across North America and operates a rental and leasing platform. The company expanded its product offering through OptiGrid, a subsidiary that develops battery-integrated fast charging solutions (including the Orange Juicer™ CCS1 charger) to reduce infrastructure deployment timelines. Orange EV reports surpassing 36 million miles and 14 million hours of operation across 43 states, Canada, and the Caribbean and recently celebrated deployment of its 2,000th electric terminal truck. Recent commercial traction includes a 40-truck order with APM Terminals and a single 600-truck order, and management says it has tripled production and is ramping charger production to meet demand. The company manufactures in Kansas City and says it is on track for one out of every four new yard trucks purchased or leased to be an Orange EV truck.
