TORONTO, April 22, 2025 /CNW/ -- National Shunt Service Ltd. (NSSL), North America's leader in yard management solutions, continues to set the standard for operational efficiency and sustainability by expanding its fleet of Orange EV electric shunt trucks across multiple sites in Canada and the United States. Through this strategic collaboration, NSSL is proving that zero-emission yard operations are not just a vision for the future but a reality today.

NSSL has deployed multiple Orange EV truck configurations, successfully integrating both models into live operations with exceptional results. The performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of Orange EV's technology continue to validate NSSL's commitment to innovation, environmental stewardship, and operational excellence.

"Our experience with Orange EV has been outstanding," said Ray Stewart, President and CEO at NSSL. "We are constantly looking for ways to push the boundaries of efficiency and sustainability in the yard management space, and Orange EV's trucks deliver exactly that. The fact that we recently supported a major customer in launching a 100% EV yard operation is a testament to our leadership in driving industry transformation."

Orange EV, a pioneer in electric yard truck solutions, provides industry-leading, heavy-duty electric vehicles that help companies lower operating costs, improve performance, and provide a safer, healthier operating environment. 

"We're proud to collaborate with NSSL as they continue to deploy to operations across North America, leading the industry in implementing cutting-edge solutions," said Wayne Mathisen, Co-Founder and CEO of Orange EV.  "Integrating e-TRIEVER and HUSK-e trucks into operations at multiple sites, NSSL is providing their customers with the best yard trucks available while also demonstrating how flexible, efficient, and cost-effective Orange EV's turnkey truck and charging solutions are for modern yard management needs." 

NSSL's commitment to sustainability extends beyond deploying EV trucks. Taking it a step further, NSSL has enhanced its proprietary yard management system, Shuntware, to provide real-time visibility into EV usage and key sustainability metrics. Customers can now track energy consumption, charging status, and environmental impact directly within the Shuntware platform. This holistic approach ensures that electrification is not just a feature but a fully integrated solution that optimizes efficiency, reduces carbon footprints, and enhances overall yard performance.

As the logistics industry moves toward more sustainable solutions, NSSL remains ahead of the curve, integrating innovative technologies that drive performance and environmental responsibility. The company's success with Orange EV's trucks is just the latest example of how NSSL is shaping the future of yard management by combining state-of-the-art equipment with data-driven insights for smarter, greener operations.
