ZM Trucks Unveils the All-Electric T75 Terminal Tractor for Ports and Warehouses
ZM Trucks Launches All-New T75 Electric Terminal Tractor
In a significant advancement for sustainable logistics, ZM Trucks has officially unveiled its latest innovation: the T75 Battery-Electric Terminal Tractor. Debuted at the 2025 Port Electrification Conference in Fontana, California, this vehicle represents a leap toward eco-friendly operations in various sectors, particularly within ports and distribution yards.
A Breakdown of the T75 Features
The T75 isn't just an adaptation of conventional diesel trucks. Instead, it is engineered from the ground up as a fully electric vehicle, promising both power and environmental responsibility. This terminal tractor is tailored for high-performance demands typical of bustling yard operations. With a robust operational range of 75 miles and a Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) reaching 165,350 pounds, the T75 handles demanding tasks with ease, including a formidable fifth-wheel lifting capacity of 80,000 pounds.
One of the standout features of the T75 is its dual-gun DC fast-charging system, allowing the vehicle to recharge from 20% to 80% in as little as 42 minutes. This capability ensures fleets can maintain higher uptime, comparable to traditional diesel models, while benefiting from quieter operation. The reduction in noise levels not only minimizes environmental impact but also enhances driver comfort—an important consideration for long shifts.
Smarter Engineering for Modern Needs
Joost de Vries, CEO of ZM Trucks, emphasized the distinctiveness of the T75, stating, "This isn't just a diesel truck with a battery pack. The T75 was engineered from scratch to be electric, rugged enough for long shifts, smart enough for modern fleet management, and clean enough to meet today's zero-emission goals." This commitment reflects in the T75’s performance metrics, which boast 415 peak horsepower and an impressive torque of up to 2,802 lb-ft.
Safety and usability are high on the agenda for the T75’s design. It includes a complete Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), LED lighting, and halogen headlights ensuring visibility under varied conditions. Inside, drivers benefit from a highly ergonomic layout featuring a complete HVAC system, a 10-inch LCD dashboard, 360-degree cameras for enhanced situational awareness, and controls designed for maximum comfort. The tractor’s heavy-duty construction also allows for added features such as optional central lubrication and hydraulic packages for tasks requiring off-road capability.
Ready for the Future of Fleets
The T75's robust specifications are complemented by its fleet-ready features, which include a comprehensive telematics package and a resilient electrical system capable of supporting high-duty cycles effortlessly. Currently in full production, the T75 is available for order across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, offering fleet operators a chance to lead in sustainability while optimizing their operational efficiency.
For those interested in witnessing the T75 in action, fleet demos and pilot programs are available. Detailed specifications and orders can be managed by reaching out to ZM Trucks directly or visiting their website.
