Leinfelden-Echterdingen – RIZON, Daimler Truck’s all-electric brand for the North American market, recently handed over its first dump body truck in Canada. The RIZON e18L goes to Villamar Construction in Victoria, British Columbia, and will be used on custom home-buildings projects. Additional 18 units will be delivered to various customers, among others to municipalities, rental providers and logistics companies, in British Columbia and Quebec in the upcoming weeks. 

“This handover marks a significant step for Daimler Truck in bringing zero-emission commercial vehicles to Canadian businesses,” said Andreas Deuschle, the Global Head of RIZON Truck. “Commercial EVs are no longer a future concept—they’re here, hitting the road and serving in communities across Canada.”

RIZON Truck launched in Canada in 2024. The Canadian government is offering incentives for RIZON trucks based on their government’s incentives for Medium- and Heavy-Duty-Zero-Emission Vehicles (iMHZEV) program. A RIZON truck will qualify for approximately 75,000 CAD at the point of sale under this program. RIZON trucks may qualify for additional provincial incentives.
