ZM Trucks has announced the opening of its first manufacturing plant and regional headquarters in Fontana, California. The facility, covering 9.67 acres with a 210,000-square-foot production area, will support the company’s operations in the United States, with production expected to begin in early 2025.
The new plant will focus on the manufacturing of electric commercial trucks, terminal tractors, and airport ground service equipment. Located approximately 49 miles from downtown Los Angeles, the facility is set to play a key role in the company’s U.S. operations and its broader global strategy.
