National Shunt Service expands yard management fleet with Orange EV electric shunt trucks

National Shunt Service Ltd. is expanding its fleet of Orange EV electric shunt trucks across multiple sites in Canada and the U.S. NSSL has deployed multiple Orange EV truck configurations, integrating both models into live operations with strong results. 

"Our experience with Orange EV has been outstanding," Ray Stewart, president and CEO at NSSL, said. "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."

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 sustainability metrics. Customers can now track energy consumption, charging status, and environmental impact within the Shuntware platform. This 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.

"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," Wayne Mathisen, co-founder and CEO of Orange EV, said.  "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."
