About the Dallas, Texas facility
The Dallas–Fort Worth area is one of the largest freight and distribution markets in the United States, with fast-growing electric delivery fleets and vehicle manufacturing elsewhere in Texas. The reverse logistics yard opened on the Great Southwest Parkway in Grand Prairie in 2022 to consolidate retired packs from across the south-central states before they travel to processing sites. Fleet depots across Texas and Oklahoma are its main customers.
At 19,000 TPA, the yard collects, de-energises, sorts and forwards material rather than processing it. Its central location lets it build full loads for grading centres and integrated campuses elsewhere in North America, and Texas summers shape its operation: storage is temperature-controlled and collections are timed to keep packs out of hot trailers. Damaged packs are isolated immediately on arrival.
