“Economically and operationally, NSSL delivered exactly what we needed. They helped us justify the investment with clear data, managed every step of the rollout, and proved that going electric could make sense on both the balance sheet and in the yard.”
Cleaner Operations with Measurable Impact
Electric yard trucks enable sustainable yard management by reducing emissions, lowering fuel consumption, and maintaining performance without sacrificing uptime or throughput.

Deployment and Performance
Proven EV Deployment, Built for Yard Operations
Electric yard trucks are no longer experimental. Through our partnership with multiple EV vendors, NSSL deploys proven electric equipment that performs at the same level as diesel while delivering lower fuel and maintenance costs.
NSSL supports the full transition—from readiness assessment and infrastructure planning to deployment and ongoing operations—ensuring EV adoption strengthens performance, not disrupts it.
What EV deployment delivers:
- Diesel-equivalent lift capacity (50,000–80,000 lbs)
- Fast charging to support continuous operations
- Lower maintenance costs with fewer moving parts
- Zero tailpipe emissions for improved air quality
- Reliable cold-weather performance down to -22°F

Metrics and Tracking
Sustainability Backed by
Real Data
Sustainability goals require more than intent—they require documentation. NSSL tracks energy use, emissions reduction, and efficiency improvements that feed directly into ESG and sustainability reporting.
Tracked outcomes include:
- Energy consumption and year-over-year trends
- Emissions reductions across yard operations
- Fuel savings from optimized routing and reduced moves
- Measurable environmental impact tied to performance gains

EV Success in Action
EV Experience Proven in the Field
NSSL operates an expanding fleet of Orange EV trucks across sites in Canada and the United States, proving reliability and performance in real-world conditions.
This direct operational experience validates that electric yard trucks handle demanding workloads, operate reliably in varied climates, and deliver cost-effective performance. NSSL’s fleet expansion provides customers with proven implementation expertise backed by hands-on experience.
Start With an EV Readiness Assessment
Not every yard should electrify today—and that’s okay. NSSL’s EV readiness assessment evaluates infrastructure, volume, duty cycles, and operational goals to determine the right path and timeline for your operation.
