Daimler Truck’s electric truck brand Rizon (here’s more about it) has achieved full homologation in the U.S. Launched in May, this year, Rizon is offering all-electric class 4 and 5 medium-duty trucks for the U.S.-market.

Rizon EV deliveries to start by the end of this year

RIZON recently received both Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certification and dual CARB Executive Orders and is in full compliance with the U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. The first deliveries of vehicles are set to commence in Q4 of 2023 through dealer networks in California. RIZON trucks are exclusively distributed by Velocity EV, which is a part of the Velocity Vehicle Group. In turn, Velocity EV will be appointing additional RIZON dealers to provide a seamless network across the United States.

RIZON Trucks are ideally suited to urban and last-mile deliveries and routes of up to 150 miles (240 km) per day. They support a versatile mix of configurations suitable to each customer’s unique requirements that include box trucks, flatbeds, stake beds, refrigerated, and other body types.
