APM Terminals Deploys 96 Electric Yard Trucks at New Jersey Operations

APM Terminals is adding 96 Orange EV yard trucks to its New Jersey port facility. This deployment marks an expansion of the terminal operator's electrification efforts across U.S. container operations. The move follows a similar equipment upgrade at the company's Los Angeles gateway. APM Terminals has been transitioning its yard fleet to battery-powered units. Orange EV's yard tractors are designed for near-dock container movement and can operate extended shifts on a single charge. The investment reflects growing industry adoption of zero-emission port equipment. Major terminal operators are prioritizing equipment modernization in congested U.S. port markets where air quality standards have become more stringent.
