Helps avoid or mitigate collisions with moving pedestrians and other vehicles, using a radar to monitor the road ahead.
The world’s first series-produced, fully electric light truck, FUSO eCanter represents an opportunity for transport operators to be at the leading edge of commercial EV technology, and to gain a competitive edge by spearheading the sector’s response to calls for climate change action.
FUSO eCanter is driven by a permanent synchronous electric motor, powered by an 81kWh (420v) lithium-ion, liquid-cooled battery pack. It delivers an impressive 135kW and 390Nm, which provides a range of 100-150km* on a single charge – well-suited to around-town delivery routes.
eCanter’s sustainability credentials are matched by its exceptionally high safety standards, in keeping with Fuso New Zealand’s dedication to promoting safer journeys on our roads. A range of crash avoidance technologies ensure greater protection for your most precious asset – your people – while an ergonomic design and car-like functionality place premium importance on driver comfort.

LEAD, LEARN, TAKE THE ADVANTAGE
FUSO eCanter represents an opportunity for transport operators to be at the leading edge of commercial EV technology, and to gain a competitive advantage by spearheading the sector’s response to calls for climate change action.
Most large businesses have climate targets that they expect to achieve – if they’re your customers, an electric truck offers a quantifiable solution to their emissions reduction goals
Be part of the solution
The Government has set a target to reduce emissions from freight by 35% by 2035 and made an international commitment that 100% of trucks and buses sold new will be zero-emission by 2040.
To support this goal, transport businesses will need to understand and adapt to a new way of operating – it is not as simple as plug and play. Fuso NZ is committed to partnering with transport operators on their journey to carbon-zero, and to learning and leading together to keep our country at the forefront of this revolution, while delivering a more sustainable future for us all.
eCANTER DRIVES SUSTAINABILITY.
FUSO is guided by the three pillars of sustainability – environmental, social and economic. eCanter delivers on all three.
Environmental: eCanter is 100% electric-powered with zero on-road emissions.
Social: eCanter contributes towards cleaner, quieter urban areas, with advanced safety features to better protect the driver, other road-users and pedestrians.
Economic: eCanter is cheaper to run, with no diesel costs and currently no road user charges. eCanter also provides a strategic advantage for early adopters, delivering a zero-emissions solution to meet growing market demand from new and existing customers.
FUSO eCanter boosts Vector’s sustainability drive
Sustainability is at the core of Vector’s operations, which is why it joined five other industry leaders in New Zealand’s first Zero Emissions Area (ZEA) trial in Auckland, using the worlds’ first series-produced, fully-electric light-duty truck – FUSO eCanter
eCanter rebate creates opportunity to cut emissions
Fuso New Zealand’s ‘while stocks last’ rebate on its market-leading FUSO eCanter has significantly reduced the entry cost for operators, who want to be leaders in reducing national commercial fleet emissions as well as lowering their operating costs.
NZ Post gives eCanter a thumbs-up
NZ Post’s six-month FUSO eCanter trial has been “a great success” according to the company’s senior environmental manager Maddie Ashby and energy manager Cees Ebskamp.
Fuso NZ’s sustained commitment to EV integration
Fuso New Zealand has led from the front in its support of Kiwi transport operators looking to make the transition to EV fleet integration – and in facilitating real progress towards the Government’s goal of 30% zero-emission light to heavy duty vehicle sales by 2030.
A SAFER WAY OF WORKING.
eCanter’s sustainability credentials are matched by its exceptionally high safety standards, in keeping with Fuso New Zealand’s dedication to promoting safer journeys on our roads. A range of crash avoidance technologies ensure greater protection for your most precious asset – your people – while an ergonomic design and car-like functionality place premium importance on driver comfort.
ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM
Lane Departure Warning System
LDWS reduces the risk of lane departure accidents by using a camera behind the windscreen, which detects lane markings and triggers an alert if the vehicle crosses with no indicator.
Electronic Stability Control
ESC employs multiple sensors to detect loss of steering control and apply brake force at each wheel, which aids steering control and improves stability.
INNOVATIVE DRIVETRAIN.
FUSO eCanter is driven by a permanent synchronous electric motor, powered by an 81kWh (420v) lithium-ion, liquid-cooled battery pack. It delivers an impressive 135kW and 390Nm, which provides a range of 100-150km* on a single charge – well-suited to around-town delivery routes.
Two-stage regeneration captures kinetic energy created by the vehicles momentum and stores it in the batteries for future use. Efficient use of the regeneration settings will extend the practical range of the eCanter.
* Depending on conditions. Contact us for further information.
A standard CCS2 plug is used for charging, with downtime minimised thanks to DC fast charge capability that will have the battery at 80% capacity in under one hour (100% in 80 minutes). eCanter comes equipped with an AC charge cable (max 32A), which will allow a full charge overnight using off-peak power.
SEAMLESS INTEGRATION.
The eCanter was built for the urban environment. Engine and noise pollution are almost nil, making it well suited for around-town applications such as FMCG delivery, furniture removal, refuse and recycling, light commercial work and chilled goods delivery.
eCanter will easily fit into your fleet – its electric drivetrain is fitted to a standard 3,400mm wheelbase FUSO Canter cab chassis, meaning customers and bodybuilders will be working with the same, familiar 750mm wide frame.
