Fuso begins next gen eCanter production 13 June 2023

Depending on the wheelbase, three different battery packs are available: S, M and L

Daimler Truck subsidiary Fuso has started producing its next generation eCanter at its plant in Tramagal, Portugal, which comes with more wheelbase options.

While the previous electric truck was available as a 7.49-tonner with a wheelbase of 3,400 millimetres, customers now have the choice of six wheelbases between 2,500 and 4,750 millimetres and a permissible gross vehicle weight of 4.25 to 8.55 tonnes. The load capacity of the chassis is up to 5 tonnes. The Next Generation eCanter is powered either by a 110 kW (variants with a gross vehicle weight of 4.25 tonnes) or 129 kW (variants with a gross vehicle weight of 7.49 and 8.55 tonnes) electric motor with an optimised driveline and 430 Nm of torque; the maximum speed is 89 km/h (electronically limited).

Depending on the wheelbase, three different battery packs are available: S, M and L. The batteries use lithium iron phosphate cell technology. The battery pack in the S variant has a nominal capacity of 41 kWh and enables a range of up to 70 kilometres. In the M variant, the nominal capacity is 83 kWh and the range is up to 140 kilometres. The L variant offers a nominal capacity of 124 kWh and a range of up to 200 kilometres. Recuperation can increase the range even further, while at the same time minimising charging breaks. In comparison, until now the eCanter has only had a battery option with a nominal capacity of 81 kWh and a range of up to 100 kilometres.

In terms of battery charging, the next generation eCanter is compatible with all main voltages in the major markets. The charging unit supports charging with both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). The Combined Charging System is the charging standard, and charging is possible at up to 104 kW. DC fast charging from 20 to 80 percent of capacity is possible in approximately 24 (S), 26 (M) and 39 minutes (L), depending on the battery pack. AC charging (11 and 22 kW) takes between around four and six hours, depending on the battery pack.
