The newly constructed site spans 9.67 acres with a 210,000-sq.-ft. factory floor and is located about 49 miles from downtown Los Angeles. The plant will serve as the cornerstone of Asian automotive company ZO Motors’ U.S. operations through its subsidiary, ZM Trucks.

The site will support the production of a portfolio of zero-emission products. Initially, this will include electric commercial trucks, terminal tractors and airport ground service equipment under the ZM Trucks brand.

“Our new Fontana facility reflects ZO Motors’ commitment to the U.S. market and sustainable innovation,” said Joost de Vries, CEO of ZO Motors. “This expansion allows us to deliver zero-emission solutions that lower total cost of ownership and drive long-term value for our customers.”

The facility is expected to begin production in the first half of 2025, and to create significant job opportunities in the region, the company stated.
