Electric terminal (yard) trucks

['Vehicle Technology']
Electric terminal (yard) trucks
  • Electric terminal trucks are ideally suited for yard management due to proximity to recharging options.
  • If onsite charging is to be used, infrastructure must be well-planned and built in coordination with the local utility.
  • Maintenance support requires special training.

Before purchasing a battery-electric yard truck, a carrier should examine: Net cost, Infrastructure requirements, and Maintenance.

A 2022 Department of Energy (DOE) study indicated that battery-electric (BEV) powered trucks will be cheaper to buy and operate than diesel trucks by 2035. With more than 100 models of medium and heavy-duty electric trucks currently being offered, carriers have many questions about where to start.

Electric terminal trucks, also known as yard tractors, will allow carriers to jump into the electric vehicle (EV) space at a slower pace.
