Fuso reaches 150 eCanter sales

Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC) is celebrating the 150th global delivery of the all-electric eCanter.

The milestone was reached just over two years since the first delivery of the light-duty truck was made in October 2017.

In Japan, 53 units have been delivered in the Kanto, Tokai and Hokuriku regions, while a total of 101 units are already in operation in customer’s hands in Europe and the US.

The eCanter has been driven over 1.6 million kilometres worldwide and has been used as a delivery truck by e-commerce operators as well as logistics and retailing businesses in Japan for short-distance and urban deliveries.

The truck is also being utilised in landscaping and waste disposal by administrative authorities around the world.

The eCanter is proving to be a competitive solution to environmental problems in cities such as noise, exhaust gas and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

“We see ever growing interest in locally emission free logistics,” MFTBC president and chief executive Hartmut Schick says.

“Our Fuso eCanter was the first all-electric truck in series production and is serving customers and communities all over the world with zero emissions.

“At Mitsubishi Fuso, we are thought leaders when it comes to electric trucks and we will continue our success story in the future,” he says.
