National Shunt Service Ltd. (NSSL), a recognized leader in North American yard management, is accelerating the shift toward sustainable logistics by expanding its fleet of Orange EV electric shunt trucks across multiple sites in Canada and the United States. This strategic expansion signals a bold move toward operational efficiency and environmental stewardship in the yard operations space.
The deployment includes multiple configurations of Orange EV’s heavy-duty electric yard trucks, successfully integrated into NSSL’s live operations with impressive results. The initiative reinforces NSSL’s commitment to driving industry transformation through innovation, reliability, and eco-consciousness.
“Our experience with Orange EV has been outstanding,” said Ray Stewart, President and CEO of 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.”
Orange EV, a trailblazer in electric yard truck solutions, has developed technology that reduces emissions, operating costs, and health risks associated with diesel-powered fleets. The partnership with NSSL includes integration of Orange EV’s e-TRIEVER and HUSK-e models, each offering tailored solutions for diverse yard environments.
“We’re proud to collaborate with NSSL as they continue to expand operations across North America,” said Wayne Mathisen, Co-Founder and CEO of Orange EV. “NSSL’s adoption of our e-TRIEVER and HUSK-e trucks shows how effective and versatile electric vehicles can be in demanding, real-world applications.”
But the transition to electric is more than hardware for NSSL. The company has enhanced its proprietary yard management system, Shuntware, to support real-time monitoring of EV performance. Customers can now track energy usage, battery charge levels, and emissions reductions directly within the platform—turning sustainability into a data-driven, measurable process.
By combining next-generation electric vehicles with intelligent software, NSSL is redefining yard operations as both sustainable and smart. This comprehensive approach not only improves day-to-day logistics but also ensures a significant reduction in environmental impact.
As more companies look for greener solutions in the supply chain, NSSL’s success with Orange EV provides a blueprint for modernizing operations without sacrificing performance. With this latest move, NSSL continues to set the bar for yard management excellence in a carbon-conscious world.
