Rizon, Daimler Truck’s brand of all-electric vehicles, announced the arrival of its first shipment of Class 4-5 vehicles to British Columbia. The company said this shipment marks Rizon’s entry into the Canadian market following its initial launch in April.
This delivery includes the first 12 units of a 22-vehicle order, with the remaining units expected later in November. Once equipped with various bodies—such as dry boxes, service bodies, and landscape dumps—19 Daimler Truck said the units will be delivered to customers in British Columbia and Quebec, while the remaining three units will be used for demonstration purposes.
The company tells us that customers receiving these vehicles include municipalities, rental and leasing providers and 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.
In addition to the delivery of these trucks, Rizon is expanding its dealership network through a partnership with Globocam, one of Quebec’s largest commercial vehicle dealerships. This partnership, according to Daimler Truck, will add three new locations across Quebec and Ontario, complementing the existing six in British Columbia.
