Orange EV delivers 2,000th electric terminal truck to Coke Canada Bottling

Orange EV says it has delivered its 2,000th electric terminal truck, with the milestone vehicle going to Coke Canada Bottling as the beverage company expands its electric fleet in British Columbia and Quebec.

The deployment adds to Coke Canada Bottling’s use of zero-emission yard trucks as it works to reduce carbon emissions while improving operational efficiency.

Orange EV said its electric terminal trucks have logged more than 12 million key-on hours and 33 million miles of operation across more than 370 fleets in 41 U.S. states, four Canadian provinces and the Caribbean. The company said its trucks achieve an average uptime rate of about 97 per cent.

“As a family-owned, generational business, we are proud to continue growing our electric fleet and advancing opportunities to reduce our carbon emissions while managing our environmental footprint,” said Tony Chow, president, Coke Canada Bottling. “We are pleased to partner with Orange EV and congratulate their team as they achieve this exciting milestone.”

Orange EV said its electric terminal trucks are used at distribution centres, logistics hubs, ports and intermodal facilities across North America, including in Canadian winter conditions. The company estimates each truck eliminates 80 to 90 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually compared with diesel-powered yard trucks.

“Delivering our 2,000th truck is more than a production milestone, it reflects a broader industry tipping point,” said Kurt Neutgens, co-founder, president and CTO of Orange EV. “Having done calculations under real-world conditions and duty cycles, fleet operators are no longer asking whether electric yard trucks can do the job. They are now asking how quickly they can standardize around Orange EV solutions to improve their uptime, predictability and total cost of ownership.”

The company also said Coke Canada Bottling recently named Orange EV one of its 2025 Supplier Partner Award winners.
