Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC) has announced it will electrify its complete range of trucks and buses in upcoming years. The company launched E-Fuso, a product brand exclusively dedicated to electric mobility of trucks and buses, and unveiled its all-electric heavy-duty truck concept.
This initiative will be backed by access to parent company Daimler’s know-how in the fields of battery and charging technology.
The E-Fuso Vision One concept has a range of 200 miles. It has a gross vehicle weight of 23 tons and carries a payload of approx. 11 tons, only two tons less than its diesel counterpart. It can be fitted with batteries up to 300 kilowatt hours, enabling a range of up to 200 miles on a single charge. A potential application for the Vision One heavy-duty truck is regional intra-city distribution.
Last month, the company launched its eCanter, the first serial-produced, all-electric medium-duty truck. It has a gross vehicle weight rating of 15,995 lbs. and a range of 60 to 80 miles on a single charge.
