Orange EV is a pioneering manufacturer of 100% electric Class 8 heavy-duty yard trucks (also known as terminal tractors). Founded in 2012 and based in Kansas City, Kansas, the company was the first in the U.S. to commercially deploy electric terminal trucks.

Their flagship models include the e-TRIEVER and HUSK-e series, built for operations like rail yards and ports. These trucks eliminate diesel fuel and emissions and can haul up to 180,000 lbs. Orange EV also provides on-site service support.
