Spanish logistics company Planway Logística has announced the integration of 22 Fuso eCanter electric trucks into its fleet. This move represents a significant step toward sustainable urban logistics, supporting environmentally friendly last-mile delivery operations in collaboration with Correos, the national postal service of Spain.
Key Features of the Fuso eCanter Fleet
The Fuso eCanter, a fully electric light-duty truck, offers cutting-edge performance and sustainability benefits:
- Gross Vehicle Weight: 8.55 tonnes
- Battery Capacity: 123.9 kWh (Three modules of 41.3 kWh)
- Range: Up to 200 kilometers per charge
- Payload: Supports up to 15 euro-pallets, ideal for urban logistics
- Power Output: 129 kW
Manufactured in Tramagal, Portugal, these trucks offer regional accessibility while reducing production-related emissions.
Enhancing Urban Logistics Sustainability
Planway Logística’s decision to deploy the Fuso eCanter trucks aligns with the growing demand for greener supply chain solutions in urban areas. These electric trucks will significantly reduce CO₂ emissions, noise pollution, and operating costs for last-mile deliveries, particularly in cities where stricter emission regulations are being implemented.
Strategic Collaboration with Correos
The trucks will operate as part of the logistics network for Correos, supporting their efforts to modernize and decarbonize delivery operations. This collaboration highlights a shared commitment to adopting zero-emission vehicles for more sustainable urban freight movements.
Industry Impact and Leadership Perspective
Florian Schulz, Head of Sales, Marketing & Customer Services at FUSO Europe, emphasized the importance of this deployment:
“The decision by Planway Logística to adopt 22 Next Generation Fuso eCanter trucks demonstrates their dedication to sustainable urban logistics. It also reaffirms the eCanter’s position as a versatile and reliable solution for inner-city distribution.”
Why It Matters
- Environmental Benefits: A significant reduction in carbon emissions, contributing to cleaner air and quieter cities.
