DPD takes delivery of eCanter electric trucks
DPD was one of the three companies which took delivery of all-electric FUSO eCanter trucks in London yesterday (19 March).
The baked goods manufacturer Hovis and – as previously reported – the logistics provider Wincanton have also received their electric trucks yesterday.
Daimler Trucks said: “DPD, Wincanton and Hovis are initially starting with a total of nine FUSO eCanter vehicles in their fleets. The vehicles have a range of around 100 km and are used in urban short-radius delivery in and around London.”
DPD will use two FUSO eCanter for an initial period of two years.
High Wycombe-headquartered Hovis is also starting out with two FUSO eCanter trucks.
Following its global market launch in September 2017 in New York the first eCanter went to companies such as UPS in the US, Yamato and 7-Eleven in Japan as well as DHL, DB Schenker, Rhenus and Dachser in Germany.
