Electric terminal truck manufacturer Orange EV recently introduced a new 7.5-year warranty covering battery, powertrain, and electric components, helping boost financial and operational benefits for fleets.
Common warranties for terminal trucks max out at 1-2 years or 6,000 hours, but Orange EV coverage now extends to 7.5 years and 30,000 hours, the company reported. Orange EV trucks have been in commercial operation since 2015, logging nearly 8 million cumulative miles of operation with individual trucks exceeding 30,000 hours of operation.
“Delivering the highest-quality terminal trucks has always been our priority,” Kurt Neutgens, Orange EV president and CTO, said in a news release. “Our new warranty isn’t just an extension of coverage, it’s a testament to our track record and a commitment to fleets that uptime, cost savings, and long-term performance are built into every truck.”
Orange EV’s 7.5-year extended warranty coverage spans critical systems, including the powertrain, motors, controllers, wire harnesses, cables, and key electric components.
Orange EV says fleets using its terminal tractors can secure:
- Lower cost of ownership: Eliminates unexpected repair costs, ensures predictable budgeting, and provides coverage and savings well beyond the payback period
- Improved operational efficiency: Increased uptime and fewer repairs minimize disruptions to operations
- Stronger financial position: Extended depreciation life, increased residual value, and a transferrable warranty
- Proven reliability: Trucks that average 97% and better uptime over 8 million operational hours, now backed by the most extensive warranty in the terminal truck market
