Industry's most proven heavy-duty EVs set new standards for uptime, longevity, and savings
KANSAS CITY, Kan., Oct. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Orange EV, the U.S. pioneer and leading manufacturer of 100% electric terminal trucks, today announced that its deployed fleet has surpassed 10 million operating hours. This milestone confirms Orange EV as the most proven and widely adopted heavy-duty EV in North America, delivering reliability, savings, and sustainability at scale.
Since its first truck was delivered in 2015, Orange EV has deployed more than 1,600 trucks across 40 U.S. states and four Canadian provinces. Together, these trucks have logged nearly 27 million miles, eliminated approximately 200,000 tons of CO₂ emissions, and have already saved fleets an estimated $100 million in fuel and maintenance costs alone, compared to diesel yard trucks.
"Ten million hours makes one thing clear: Orange EV has taken electric terminal trucks from possible to proven," said Kurt Neutgens, President and CTO of Orange EV. "Our 340 customers are operating at an average of 97% uptime, with no compromises, proving you can cut costs, boost performance, and improve health and safety all at once."
Orange EV trucks are also proving unmatched longevity. Multiple units have already surpassed 30,000 hours of operation and remain in active service while others are approaching a full decade of daily use, all still running on their original Orange EV-designed LFP battery packs. In more than 10 million hours of duty, no Orange EV battery has experienced a thermal event.
"Diesel yard trucks rarely achieve this level of durability, but Orange EV delivers with every truck," added Neutgens. "Every hour of safe, reliable operation raises the bar for what fleets should expect from their equipment."
Orange EV's best-selling e-TRIEVER, backed by an available industry-leading 7.5-year warranty on the batteries, traction motor, and other EV components, has set a new standard for fleet confidence. That confidence is leading companies to move faster in their EV transition with Orange EV's turnkey solution: trucks, chargers, and service from a single trusted provider.
For nearly 10 years and more than 10 million hours of operation, Orange EV trucks have been reducing costs, cutting emissions, and giving fleets a competitive advantage. Companies looking for a proven, superior solution can turn to Orange EV to deliver unmatched performance and value.
