Electrifying Thai Logistics and Commercial Trucks: eCanter shows the power of its six lithium ion batteries at the “Future of Mobility” event.

Daimler Commercial Vehicles Thailand (DCVT) recently showcased the world’s first emission-free truck, the eCanter 1.0, to 80 top customers and industry stakeholders at the “Future of Mobility” event held at The Sukhothai Bangkok. The eCanter is powered by six lithium ion batteries and has a driving radius of up to 100 km per charge. It is currently only available in selected markets such as Japan, United Kingdom and USA. The eCanter zero emission technology offers one possible solution to Bangkok's pollution challenge, particularly in the diesel dominated commercial vehicle market. DCVT executives and customers intensely discussed on impact of electrification on Thailand’s commercial and logistics industry and how to create infrastructure network to pave the way to the future with suitable energy. The eCanter 2.0 begins production in 2021 with deliveries beginning shortly thereafter, with Thailand as possible market.
