The global Particle-In-Cell ORB5 code [Jolliet, CPC, 2007] has been extended to include the kinetic response of trapped electrons. The gyrokinetic model is explained and a linear benchmark is presented. Nonlinear simulations show that, for the set of parameters considered, the influence of the zonal flows on Trapped-Electron-Mode turbulence is weak. These results are in agreement with previous results obtained with the flux-tube PIC code GEM [Lang, POP, 2008].
