Leinfelden-Echterdingen - Planway Logística, a logistics provider based in Orense, Spain, added 22 FUSO eCanter to its fleet: All vehicles are operating from now on as part of the distribution fleet of Correos, the postal service provider of Spain. 

The battery-electric 8.55 t light-duty trucks with a 4,450 mm wheelbase come with a 129 kW electric motor and the L-size battery pack with a range of up to 200 km with one battery charge. The vehicle combines compact dimensions and great maneuverability with a high load volume, which makes it the ideal vehicle for inner-city distribution and postal deliveries in urban areas. 

“The fact that Planway Logística, another major logistics company, has opted for the Next Generation eCanter shows once again that the all-electric light-duty truck is ideal for inner-city distribution traffic.”, summarizes Florian Schulz, Head of Sales, Marketing & Customer Services FUSO Europe. “By ordering 22 units, the customer is also underlining his commitment to electrify his last-mile transports. The eCanter’s charging flexibility as well as its comparatively high payload and the load volume of 15 euro-pallets makes this transition quite easy.”

The vehicle is available in five weight classes (3.5 t to 8.55 t), with six wheelbases (2,500 mm to 4,750 mm), three powerful engines (96 - 129 kW) and three cab variants (standard (1.7 m wide), comfort (2.0 m) and crew cab (2.0 m).
