An all-electric FUSO eCanter 9C18e skip loader has been added to the truck fleet at TIT Imhof AG in the Swiss canton of Thurgau. The 8.55-tonne light-duty truck is the first fully electric series-produced vehicle for the transport, construction and disposal company from Kreuzlingen, which has been deeply committed to electric mobility for several years (here’s another interesting story about the eCanter).

FUSO eCanter: container service for Swiss TIT Imhof

TIT Imhof’s portfolio includes construction site logistics, special transportation, crane services, excavation and demolition, as well as disposal and recycling for commercial, industrial and private customers. This includes, among other things, the container service, which is where the FUSO eCanter comes into its own at TIT Imhof. The 9C18e, with a type AK4V skip loader from Meier-Ratio, transports empty containers to customers and disposes of the contents of the full containers at its own disposal center in Kreuzlingen.

With its short 3.400 mm wheelbase, the eCanter is particularly compact and maneuverable for use in the city and surrounding communities. Equipped with M-sized battery pack, the electric vehicle has a range of up to 140 km on a single charge.
