Orange EV, a manufacturer of Class-8 electric terminal trucks, has introduced a new 7.5-year, 30,000-hour warranty.

The expanded warranty not only covers the truck’s battery, but also the powertrain, motors, controllers, wire harnesses, cables and key electric components.

“Delivering the highest-quality terminal trucks has always been our priority,” said Kurt Neutgens, President and CTO of the Kansas City, Kansas-based company. “Our new warranty isn’t just an extension of coverage, it’s a testament to our track record,” adding that the warranty also serves as a commitment to fleet buyers “that uptime, cost savings, and long-term performance are built into every truck.”

Terminal trucks—also referred to as terminal tractors, as well as by several more colorful names including yard trucks, yard dogs, yard mules and, in the United Kingdom, terminal lorries—are semi-tractor vehicles designed to move semi-trailers within a warehouse facility, cargo yard or intermodal facility.

Orange EV has the most deployed all-electric terminal trucks in the United States of any manufacturer, according to a February 2022 study by non-profit consortium Calstart.
