All-electric Class 4 and 5 Rizon trucks to enter the Canadian market
RIZON will offer four model variants for Canadian customers, the e16L, e16M, e18L, and the e18M, with a versatile mix of configurations and options suitable for each customer’s unique requirements, ranging from 15,995 to 18,850 pounds in gross vehicle weight (GVW).
Rizon, part of the Daimler Truck global family, is about to enter the Canadian market with its Class 4 and 5 electric trucks. Preorders will open in June 2024 with deliveries scheduled for the year’s end. The RIZON brand will be presented in Canada for the first time at Truck World in Toronto from April 18th– 20th. RIZON trucks first debuted in the U.S. in 2023 at the ACT Expo in Anaheim, California, and are now operating on American streets for a diverse range of customers.
The Canadian government has committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 and has established an incentive program to encourage fleets to electrify. Companies and municipalities are now exploring sustainable fleet options to address environmental concerns and operational efficiency.

They are proven OEM trucks with the latest technology from Daimler Truck. RIZON is the best Class 4-5 fully electric truck money can buy.”
