Orange EV expands sales into Canada

As electrification grows, Orange EV continues in the direction of global expansion.

Orange EV has expanded into the Canadian market. Its Canadian expansion comes on the heels of announced plans to move to a larger U.S. production facility in Q2 of 2023, designed to accommodate the company’s rapid growth and produce up to 1,800 terminal trucks per year in single-shift operations, the company noted.

To head Canadian operations, Orange EV has hired global business leader Roberto Bragagnolo as its country general manager. He arrives at Orange EV after serving as GM of Finning, one of the largest Caterpillar dealers, and previously spent two years with Export Development Canada involved in global trade across clean energy and advanced manufacturing. Bragagnolo devoted more than 23 years working for Siemens, rising from regional manager-Latin America to head of energy storage.
