ZM Trucks, a zero-emission commercial truck manufacturer, has inked a lease for a 210k sf industrial building in the city of Fontana for its first North American manufacturing plant. ZM Trucks is a subsidiary of ZO Trucks headquartered in Chuo-Ku, Tokyo.
The new facility, located at 10271 Almond Ave, will support the production of a diverse portfolio of zero-emission products including electric commercial trucks, terminal tractors, and airport ground service equipment. Fontana was selected due to the proactive support received from the city and county. In addition, ZM Trucks will benefit from operating in a newly constructed 2023 building.
The state-of-the-art facility is expected to begin production in the first half of 2025. At full operation, ZM Trucks will have approximately 200 employees. Projected production is 35,000 to 40,000 vehicle units per year.
ZM Trucks began site selection discussions with San Bernardino County in early 2024. To support ZM Trucks’ expansion planning, the county’s economic development team facilitated introductions to city partners and supported the firm’s search for the ideal site by providing extensive market information as well as State of California incentive information targeting zero-emission vehicle manufacturing.
“San Bernardino County is an ideal choice for firms in search of an abundant skilled workforce and competitive business costs. Our Economic Development team worked extensively with ZM Trucks to ensure they found the perfect site in the county to support their continued growth in the zero-emission vehicle sector. We applaud ZM Truck’s work with the logistics industry to advance the industry toward carbon neutrality. The county is proud to now be part of their success in producing zero-emission commercial vehicles in the U.S.,” said San Bernardino County Fourth District Supervisor Curt Hagman, who worked closely with ZM Trucks to locate their plant in San Bernardino County.
