Peter Friedrich, owner of Getränke Friedrich in Seligenstadt, Germany, has chosen an all-electric FUSO eCanter in his daily home-delivery business. The entrepreneur from Hessia relies on a compact eCanter with an S-Cabin and a flatbed tarp body to make his home delivery service more sustainable.

FUSO eCanter, chosen for home deliveries

“When making home deliveries, we often park on the curb and need to be able to access the load quickly and easily from the passenger side“, explained Peter Friedrich. In addition, the eCanter’s low loading edge, which is only about 850 mm high, is ergonomically designed to help the driver unload manually. The fact that Getränke Friedrich’s home delivery service is now 100% electric is of course mentioned on the decals of the new vehicle. “Our customers are taking notice of the eCanter, and we are getting really positive feedback”.

The FUSO eCanter S415e has an all-electric, 150 hp (110 kW) drive and produces no local CO2 emissions. The selected battery pack option S with a rechargeable battery has a capacity of 41.3 kWh and offers a range of up to 70 km. Configured to the customer’s requirements with the narrow standard single cab, a wheelbase of 2.800 mm and a body length of 3.600 mm, it combines compact external dimensions with a payload of almost 1.2 tonnes.
