At moderate use sites, replacing one diesel yard truck with Orange EV electric trucks can eliminate 80 tons of CO 2 , along with NO x , particulate matter, and other criteria pollutants. More than 50% of vehicles purchased through the program are operating in communities disproportionately burdened by harmful air pollutants.
