Heavy-Duty Fleet Electrification: Electric Dump Truck to Be Showcased at GTSE 2025

Tacoma Public Utilities will be showcasing one of the first electric dump trucks deployed in Washington state at GTSE 2025. This vehicle is a Class 6/7 all-electric model designed for utility and municipal applications, and it's an early example of how heavy-duty electrification is progressing beyond pickups and light-duty units. It’s a significant step for decarbonizing fleets with high-load, high-idle duty cycles - especially in public works and construction environments.

The truck will be available to view in the GTSE Expo Hall, providing a chance to see the chassis, battery configuration, and upfit details firsthand. For fleet managers and sustainability teams evaluating medium- and heavy-duty electrification options, this is a valuable opportunity to understand real-world integration, charging strategy, and operational impacts from an early adopter.
