Penske Truck Leasing Deploying Kalmar Ottawa T2 Electric Terminal Tractor

Penske Truck Leasing is the first truck leasing company to utilize the Kalmar Ottawa production T2 EV electric terminal tractor.

Penske Truck Leasing is the first truck leasing company to utilize the Kalmar Ottawa production T2 EV electric terminal tractor. Penske will make the T2 EVs available for lease across North America beginning this quarter, giving customers an opportunity to reduce diesel fuel use, improve air quality and support sustainability goals.

The companies are showcasing this unit at the Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo this week in Las Vegas.

The Kalmar T2 EV is developed entirely in-house and manufactured at Kalmar’s facility in Ottawa, Kansas. As Kalmar’s third-generation electric terminal tractor, the T2 EV delivers zero-emission performance without compromising uptime, durability or driver comfort.

Paul Rosa, senior vice president of procurement and fleet planning, Penske Truck Leasing: “The transition to electric yard operations has to make operational and financial sense. With Kalmar Ottawa, we’ve built a 20-year relationship based on equipment that performs in demanding environments. The T2 EV is delivering the performance standards we expect, along with measurable maintenance and operating benefits.”
