ZM Trucks is establishing its first North American manufacturing facility in Fontana, California, to serve as both a production plant and regional headquarters. The 210,000-square-foot facility is set to start operations in the first half of 2025, with a capacity to manufacture up to 100,000 commercial vehicles annually, including electric trucks, terminal tractors, and airport ground service equipment. This initiative is part of ZO Motors' efforts to improve global production capabilities, with a specific focus on enhancing supply chain efficiency and market responsiveness in the U.S. The company also aims to meet the rising demand for sustainable solutions in the commercial transportation sector by offering a diverse portfolio of zero-emission vehicles, including battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell trucks. Additionally, ZM Trucks plans to introduce hydrogen internal combustion engine (ICE) technology in the near future, emphasizing a balance between environmental benefits and cost efficiency. Joost de Vries, the CEO of ZO Motors, underlines the company's commitment to reducing emissions and ensuring the economic viability of zero-emission adoption for businesses. The establishment of the Fontana facility is expected to have a positive economic and industry impact by creating jobs in California's clean technology sector and supporting local and regional economies. Furthermore, the strategic location of the facility will enhance ZM Trucks' service capabilities for North American customers and pave the way for market expansion into South America and the Middle East in the coming years.
