What’s more, the FUSO eCanter has a payload capacity of up to 4.15 tons, which is more than enough for urban transportation.

FUSO has set itself the goal of accelerating the electrification of transport in the commercial vehicle industry. In line with Daimler Trucks’ sustainability strategy, FUSO is leading the truck industry into the future and aims to make all new vehicles in the Triad (Europe, North America and Japan) CO2-neutral by 2039. The eCanter thus plays an important role in achieving carbon-neutral transportation, with the ongoing movement toward carbon-neutral societies being pursued by various governments both in European countries and abroad.
