The new eCanter is Japan’s first mass-produced electric light-duty truck
Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC), a Daimler Truck company, has officially launched the new eCanter, its all-electric light-duty truck, in the United Arab Emirates, marking an important milestone in advancing sustainable commercial mobility in the region.
The launch event, held in Dubai in collaboration with Al Habtoor Motors, the authorized distributor of FUSO vehicles in the UAE, brought together key customers, partners, and stakeholders from across the commercial vehicle sector.
The introduction of the New eCanter reinforces FUSO’s commitment to supporting customers in their transition toward zero-emission transport solutions, particularly for urban and last-mile operations.
Responsible transportation solutions
The new eCanter is Japan’s first mass-produced electric light-duty truck and has already been introduced in multiple global markets. Its launch in the UAE reflects the growing demand for environmentally responsible transportation solutions and aligns with the country’s broader sustainability and clean mobility ambitions, supporting the shift toward lower-emission transport in urban environments.
Offering locally emission-free driving, reduced noise levels, and lower operating costs, the new eCanter is designed for applications such as city logistics, municipal services, and last-mile delivery.
Electric driveline
Built on FUSO’s proven light-duty truck platform, the new eCanter combines electric driveline technology with the brand’s long-standing standards of reliability and practicality.
“The launch of the new eCanter in the UAE represents an important step in Daimler Truck’s electrification journey in the Middle East. As cities and businesses increasingly focus on sustainable mobility, the new eCanter offers a practical, zero-emission solution tailored for urban and last-mile operations,” asserted Michael Dietz, an official with Daimler Truck ME.
