Orange EV announced that California fleets can save at least $95,000 per truck on the purchase of brand new T-Series pure electric terminal trucks with the extended-duty battery pack.

Orange EV electric terminal trucks have been operating up to 24-plus hours per charge at sites from single-shifts to 24x7 use in railroad intermodal, LTL freight, manufacturing, retail distribution, waste management, and warehouse container handling. Businesses and organizations with fleets in California can get a preliminary voucher amount of $95,000 per truck, increasable up to $120,000 and stackable with other incentive programs to lower initial purchase price.
