RIZON completes delivery of its very first electric trucks to Canada
RIZON’s current network of dealers in Canada includes nine locations across British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec with plans to expand to other locations in the near future. Indeed, RIZON Class 4 and Class 5 e-trucks will qualify for the Canadian government’s Incentives for Medium- and Heavy-Duty-Zero-Vehicles (iMHZEV) program, which has been in effect since 2022.
RIZON Canada handed over first e18L truck with a dump body to Villamar Construction in Victoria, British Columbia. Additional e-truck deliveries will follow in the coming weeks to municipalities, rental and leasing providers as well as freight and logistics companies.
“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. We congratulate Villamar Construction on leading the charge and look forward to seeing RIZON trucks drive the growth of zero-emission transportation nationwide.”
RIZON is quite lively in Canada, also due to existing government’s incentives
RIZON’s current network of dealers in Canada includes nine locations across British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec with plans to expand to other locations in the near future. It’s important to point out that the Canadian government has established an incentive program to encourage fleets to electrify, prompting companies and municipalities to explore sustainable fleet options for improved environmental performance and operational efficiency.
In fact, these vehicles will qualify for the Canadian government’s Incentives for Medium- and Heavy-Duty-Zero-Vehicles (iMHZEV) program, which has been in effect since 2022. A RIZON truck will qualify for approximately $75,000 at the point of sale under this program.
RIZON, Daimler Truck’s newest brand of all-electric vehicles for North America, offers four model variants for Canadian customers, the e16L, e16M, e18L, and the e18M, with a versatile mix of configurations and options suitable for each customer’s unique requirements, ranging from 15,995 to 18,850 pounds in gross vehicle weight (GVW).
