North America’s newest zero-emissions commercial truck brand, ZM Trucks, is set to make its debut at the upcoming Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo, representing the western expression of ZO Motors. ZM Trucks will showcase five models in the Class 4, 5, 6, and “baby8” segments, anticipated to be available for purchase by the end of 2024.
Each ZM Trucks model is engineered to cater to local market requirements and will be assembled in and comply with all North American regulations. These trucks leverage market-proven platforms with millions of real-world driving miles, resulting in purpose-built, zero-emission work trucks that offer substantial total-cost-of-ownership (TCO) advantages over traditional diesel trucks.
“ZM Trucks is not your average untested startup,” emphasized CEO of ZM Trucks. “As a subsidiary of ZO Motors Tokyo, our zero-emissions vehicles are backed by proven and reliable technology, as well as secure funding and access to supply chain resources and partnerships that would be unattainable for most emerging brands.” ZM Trucks aims to provide customers with significant financial, operational, and regulatory competitive advantages, including enhanced cost-per-mile performance, reduced downtime for maintenance, improved city-center access due to noise abatement regulations, and enhanced driver comfort.
ZM Trucks prioritizes cost-efficient charging solutions, making battery electric vehicle driving hassle-free with powerful 20 kW AC charging capabilities, alongside standard DC charging options. A standard 220v/100a circuit enables convenient overnight charging. The trucks are designed with clean back-of-cab and chassis rails, facilitating efficient and effortless upfit solutions. With available dual electric Power Takeoffs (ePTOs) on all cab/chassis platforms, ZM Trucks are well-equipped for the diverse challenges of the work truck industry.
Beyond truck sales, ZM Trucks offers comprehensive transportation solutions, including service, diagnostics, parts support, and a cloud-based fleet management system designed to optimize drivers and routes, all geared towards reducing cost-per-mile. ZM Trucks also provides comprehensive support, assisting customers with initial paperwork to access state incentives and ongoing reporting requirements, ensuring maximum retention of funds during the transition from diesel-powered trucks to zero-emission solutions.
At ACT Expo (Booth #444), ZM Trucks will display Asian-market production models, including the ZM4, ZM8, ZMx FCEV, and ZM22. The North American versions of these models will be available later in 2024.
ZM Trucks, originating from China, is a global leader in innovative new-energy commercial vehicles specializing in the R&D, manufacturing, and sales of intelligent new-energy commercial vehicles with powertrain options that include Battery Electric, Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric, and to-be-announced Hydrogen ICE. ZM Trucks’ commercial vehicles are entering the United States, Canada, and Mexico markets in 2024.
