The T-Series Tandem 6×2 is designed to legally carry up to 81,000 pounds on public roads and will be built to meet site-specific usage needs and cycles.

Orange EV will settle for pre-orders for the Tandem T-Series in the fourth quarter of 2020. In the coming months, Orange EV plans to introduce new inventions into heavy-duty space, adding advances in autonomous operations, according to Kurt Neutgens, managing technician of Orange EV.
