Commercial Trailer Leasing, Inc. (CTL) announces a partnership with Orange EV to deploy pure-electric and zero-emission, DOT-compliant yard trucks throughout the United States. The Orange EV yard trucks along with their paired, onsite charging cabinets will be under lease with various customers within the food distribution and logistics industry segments.

The e-TRIEVER® yard trucks have an 81,000 lb. GCWR, handling some of the harshest conditions and heaviest duty cycles in the United States with a functional environmental temperature range of -40 F° to 120 F°. Orange EV has multiple solutions that are successfully meeting zero emissions standards without sacrificing size and speed. The e-TRIEVER 4×2 has a standard 122-inch wheelbase and 98-99% average uptime.

Replacing diesel yard trucks with pure-electric e-TRIEVER trucks is a proven method to meet or exceed company sustainability goals while also reducing driver fatigue, safety incidents, and driver turnover. Drivers enjoy near-instant heating in the winter and a cooler cab environment in the summer, with zero diesel emissions and reduced vibration and maintenance.

CTL’s suite of services includes 247 emergency roadside assistance, fleet tracking and refrigeration telematics

“Continuing to support fleets across numerous industry verticals in their zero-emission goals remain paramount as we grow our leasing offerings within this asset class,” said Corey Eisen, Vice President of CTL. “Orange EV have established themselves as the leader within the electric yard truck space, and we are excited to partner with them to fulfill our growing customer demand in electric vehicle (EV) transportation.”

“We are proud to partner with CTL, a company committed to helping its customers not only meet and exceed their sustainability goals, but also reduce operating costs and provide a safer and cleaner working environment,” said Kurt Neutgens, President and CTO of Orange EV.

The CTL and Orange EV partnership in electrifying the terminal truck industry has emphasized not just environmental benefits but operational efficiencies and cost savings. Fleets have seen savings from $20,000 – $90,000 per truck annually from fuel cost reduction, emissions control elimination, and powertrain and brake maintenance savings. Cutting down on downtime can be the greatest savings experienced by Orange EV operators, but additional savings come from operator turnover costs that are decreased due to the safer working environments that EV yard trucks provide.

Whether trucks are purchased, leased, or rented, Orange EV provides a turnkey solution including trucks, telematics, chargers, and onsite training. Service is provided onsite by Orange EV service technicians.
