Disclosure: I am an employee of Orange EV and have a conflict of interest with respect to this topic, per Wikipedia's COI guidelines and the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use on paid contributions. I am not editing the article directly and am instead proposing this addition here for review by an independent editor.
The Electric Terminal Truck section currently mentions Orange EV as one of several manufacturers but does not note the company's role in commercializing the category. I'd suggest adding the following, sourced to independent, previously-unused-here reporting (Bloomberg, FleetOwner, and the CALSTART-sourced WorkTruckOnline piece already cited elsewhere on this page):
- Orange EV, founded in 2012 in Kansas City, Kansas, by Kurt Neutgens and Wayne
Mathisen, was the first company in the United States to commercially deploy an all-electric Class 8 terminal tractor. The company introduced its prototype electric yard truck, the T-Series, in 2015, and by 2016 had deployed trucks at sites operated by DHL and Rail Management Services (RMS).[1][2] By the early 2020s, Orange EV had become one of the largest suppliers of zero-emission terminal trucks in the United States, according to CALSTART, a nonprofit organization focused on clean transportation technology.[3]

Happy to answer any questions about sourcing or adjust the wording if it reads as promotional in any way, that's genuinely not the intent, I tried to stick to verifiable, encyclopedic claims rather than marketing language. Thanks for reviewing. TerminalTruckGuy (talk) 19:47, 4 September 2026 (UTC)
