Fuso eCanter electric light-duty truck arrives in Australia Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC) announced the eCanter launching in Australia. With the Australian rollout, the all-electric light-duty truck will now be running in a fourth major region, following Japan, Europe, and the US. The Mitsubishi subsidiary, which belongs to Daimler, expects the first batch of deliveries to Australian customers to take place within the next several months. According to the company, the Fuso eCanter for Australia is shipped from Tramagal in Portugal and comes with the same standard specifications as the models currently available in Japan and Europe. MFTBC points to Fuso dealers in Australia for clients to receive their trucks and advice on charging infrastructure options. The company also hopes for “improved availability of quick-charging facilities, which will further aid the take-up of battery-electric commercial vehicles”. It points to the government budgeting 16.5 million AUD to support BEV fast-charging infrastructure projects this February in its Future Fuels Strategy. Some activists deem it a “nothing paper”, though.
