Indeed, the new plant will serve as the cornerstone of ZO Motors’ U.S. operations through its subsidiary, ZM Trucks, supporting the production of a diverse range of zero-emission products. Initially, this will include electric commercial trucks, terminal tractors, and airport ground service equipment under the ZM Trucks brand.
The state-of-the-art facility is expected to begin production in the first half of 2025. In addition, ZO Motors has already announced its cutting-edge manufacturing plant in Cambodia, which will be instrumental in supplying the Asian Pacific markets.
“Our new Fontana facility reflects ZO Motors’ commitment to the U.S. market and sustainable innovation,” commented Joost de Vries, CEO of ZO Motors. “This expansion allows us to deliver zero-emission solutions that lower total cost of ownership and drive long-term value for our customers.”
