Rizon, Daimler Truck’s brand of all-electric vehicles, announced the arrival of its first shipment of Classes 4-5 vehicles to British Columbia.

This shipment includes the first 12 units of a 22-vehicle order, with the remaining units scheduled to arrive in November.

After being upfitted with various bodies — such as dry boxes, service bodies, and landscape dumps — 19 of the units will be delivered to customers in B.C. and Quebec. The remaining three units will be used for demonstration purposes.

Customers include municipalities, rental and leasing providers as well as freight and logistics companies.

“I’m very excited the first order of Rizon trucks is reaching Canada and will soon be on the streets serving customers with zero-emission operations,” said Andreas Deuschle, global head of Rizon Truck. “The market response has been enthusiastic, and we are proud to provide Canada with the very best electric commercial vehicles on the market.”

Rizon is expanding its dealership network by partnering with Quebec-based dealer Globocam. This partnership adds three new locations across Quebec and Ontario, complementing the existing six in B.C.
