Daimler’s first electic trucks launched, UPS first customer

Daimler has revealed its first battery-powered truck, the eCanter, last Thursday. The company also said that postal service company UPS has already signed on as commercial customer, and plans to reduce its city center delivery emissions with three of the trucks. Four more of the zero-emission vehicle will find a home with several New York charities.

“Our new FUSO eCanter now addresses the increasing global demand for products to meet and exceed high CO2 emission standards,” said Marc Llistosella, CEO of MFTBC. “It offers an attractive and cost-effective alternative to combustion engines and makes electric trucks key to the future of inner city distribution.”
