At the 2025 Port Electrification Conference, ZM Trucks, North America, unveiled the T75 Battery-Electric Terminal Tractor, a zero-emission, heavy-duty vehicle purpose-built for America’s ports, warehouses and distribution yards.

Designed from the ground up as an all-electric platform, ZM Trucks said the T75 combines industrial-strength performance with clean energy technology to meet the real-world demands of high-volume yard operations.

“This isn’t just a diesel truck with a battery pack,” said Joost de Vries, CEO of ZM Trucks. “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.”

The T75 delivers 415 peak horsepower and up to 2,802 lb.-ft of torque for demanding yard operations. It has a 75-mi. operational range, a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 165,350 lbs. and an 80,000-lb. fifth wheel lifting capacity. Its dual-gun DC fast charging system enables recharging from 20 to 80 percent in as little as 42 minutes, ZM Trucks said, for uptime comparable to diesel trucks. The truck’s quiet operation not only reduces noise pollution but also contributes to higher driver satisfaction and retention, especially during long shifts.

Inside the cab, operators benefit from a comprehensive HVAC system, a 10-in. LCD dash, 360-degree cameras, and ergonomic controls designed for comfort during extended shifts.

The tractor’s heavy-duty engineering includes a proven chassis platform with optional central lubrication. For off-road duties like dump truck work, an optional hydraulic package to power trailers can be added. Additionally, the T75 is fleet-ready, featuring a comprehensive telematics package and an electrical system that supports high-duty cycles.

The T75 is now in full production and available for order in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
