Electric Truck Maker Hits 2,000 Vehicles Milestone

A Kansas City truck maker just proved that electric commercial vehicles aren't just the future anymore—they're here and thriving.

Orange EV delivered its 2,000th electric terminal truck this week to Coca-Cola Canada, expanding the beverage giant's fleet across British Columbia and Quebec. These aren't tiny delivery vans—they're powerful yard trucks designed to move heavy loads in warehouses, distribution centers, and ports.

The numbers tell an impressive story. Orange EV's fleet has logged more than 12 million operating hours and 33 million miles across 370 operations in North America and the Caribbean. The trucks achieve 97 percent uptime, meaning they're working when companies need them most.

That reliability matters because these vehicles handle critical logistics work. Orange EV offers two main platforms: the e-TRIEVER for warehouse operations and the HUSK-e for heavy-duty port work. Both come with batteries, chargers, and on-site service as complete solutions.

The Ripple Effect

This milestone signals something bigger than one company's success. Fleet operators have moved past asking whether electric yard trucks can handle the job—now they're racing to adopt them.

Kurt Neutgens, Orange EV's co-founder and president, calls it an industry tipping point. Companies are discovering that electric terminal trucks don't just cut emissions—they improve operations and reduce costs through better uptime and predictability.

Coca-Cola Canada clearly agrees. The company named Orange EV as one of its 2025 Supplier Partner Award winners, recognizing the role these trucks play in reducing carbon emissions while boosting efficiency. That dual benefit—helping the planet and the bottom line—makes the transition easier for companies to justify.

The switch to electric is happening faster than many expected because the business case is clear. When trucks spend less time broken down and more time working, companies save money while meeting sustainability goals. That's a win everyone can celebrate.

Thousands of companies are now watching Orange EV's success and reconsidering their own fleets—that's 2,000 trucks proving clean transportation works in the real world.
