Commercial EV manufacturer ZM Trucks has opened its US headquarters and assembly facility in Fontana, California and debuted its ZM8 commercial truck in the US.

The new facility, located 49 miles from downtown Los Angeles, spans 9.67 acres and includes a 210,000-square-foot factory floor. The company has also relocated its regional headquarters.

The opening follows the unveiling of the company’s electric T75 terminal tractor, which is designed to meet the needs of logistics and port operations. ZM Trucks has announced several strategic partnerships, including with Merlin Group and FleetNet.

“Despite policy uncertainty, we’re charging ahead,” said Joost de Vries, Global CEO of ZM Trucks. “Our investment in Fontana demonstrates that commercial EVs are not just viable, they’re a superior solution for urban truck operators, delivering lower costs, higher performance, and a smarter path toward total cost of ownership.”
