St-Paul-d’Abbotsford, Québec, Canada, June 25, 2025 – NRC Industries is shifting gears toward a cleaner, more powerful future. As part of its 50th anniversary celebrations, NRC unveiled its latest innovation on June 14: its very first electric-powered carrier, currently undergoing road testing under the name E-20TB.
This breakthrough reflects the company’s commitment to offering high-performance solutions that meet both tomorrow’s environmental challenges and today’s regulatory standards across various states and provinces.
An electric carrier built to last
A first of its kind, this electric-powered carrier was installed on a Mack MD Electric truck for the fleet of Remorquage Boissonneault (Granby, QC, Canada).
The system—featuring a power pack and an ePTO (electric power take-off)—is fully concealed and integrated into the vehicle. No special adjustments are required from the operator. Everything has been designed to ensure a simple, efficient user experience comparable to that of a conventional NRC model.
Some key features include:
- Recharge while driving, allowing for a full workday without interruption;
- Compatibility with both electric and diesel trucks: when installed on an electric vehicle, it meets zero-emission standards; on a diesel truck, the platform operates with the engine off, reducing fuel consumption, engine wear, and idling-related maintenance costs;
- Supports the same options and accessories as a standard NRC model.
Commercial launch planned for spring 2026
Road testing is currently underway, with orders opening in spring 2026.
