The Canter E-Cell is an exceptionally high-tech electric truck that is designed to make it easier than ever to haul large payloads on an electric drivetrain and with a very healthy range.
This particular truck comes equipped with a 110 kW AC motor that is capable of providing as much as 150 horsepower and 479 pounds-feet of torque. It weighs in at 13,230 pounds and is capable of hauling a payload of 6,470 pounds. This allows truck owners to save significantly on their operations, with Daimler estimating savings of up to $1,135 for every 10,000 km traveled.
However, the most noteworthy feature of this particular truck is its very healthy range of over 60 miles with a payload of 4,400 pounds, a key feature when you consider the distances that trucks tend to travel when hauling gear.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Electric Heavy-duty Trucks
- There is an opportunity to disrupt the heavy-duty trucking industry with the growth of electric trucks.
- High-tech Electric Drivetrains
- Developing high-tech electric drivetrains can revolutionize the trucking industry by providing a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative.
- Extended Range Electric Trucks
- Extended range electric trucks have the potential to disrupt the logistics and delivery industry by reducing the environmental impact and transportation costs.
Sectors Adopting This
- Trucking
- The trucking industry should invest in developing electric heavy-duty trucks to cut costs and increase sustainability.
- Automotive
- Automotive manufacturers can benefit from investing in the research and development of advanced electric drivetrains for heavy-duty vehicles.
- Logistics and Delivery
- Logistics and delivery companies can capitalize on the growth of extended range electric trucks to reduce operating costs and minimize their environmental impact.
