Daimler Trucks is presenting its concept for an electric truck at IAA Commercial Vehicles, where the vehicle is having its world premiere. Mitsubishi Fuso Truck & Bus Corporation (MFTBC), which is part of Daimler Trucks, is presenting the Fuso Canter E-CELL with battery-electric drive in Hanover from September 21 to 30. With the concept Fuso Canter E-CELL, Daimler Trucks is consistently implementing its global Shaping Future Transportation initiative for zero-emission mobility. The nearly silent-running and emission-free Canter E-CELL has a range of about 120 kilometers, making it ideal for urban centers and other environmentally sensitive areas.
Says Dr. Albert Kirchmann, President and CEO of MFTBC: “Following the successful introduction of our Fuso Canter Eco Hybrid light truck, the Fuso Canter E-CELL is our next consistent step on the road to zero-emission mobility. The concept underscores Fuso’s strategy of offering customers the cleanest, most resource-conserving drive technology for every application.”
The Canter E-CELL concept vehicle to be presented by Fuso is suitable for everyday use and based on a Fuso Canter 3S13 with a 3.5 ton gross vehicle weight. The batteries are positioned in the chassis frame. The Fuso Canter E-CELL dispenses entirely with a combustion engine and thus produces zero emissions. The new concept vehicle from MFTBC features the latest technological developments and demonstrates that advanced technology will soon make electric mobility possible for trucks as well.
