DB Schenker
Logistics leader DB Schenker has taken another step forward in its Europe-wide drive towards zeroemission urban deliveries by commissioning its first UK based, all electric Fuso eCanter. The new 7.5 tonner is operating from Bradford and works in and around the city centre. Curtainside body is by En-Veco, the specialist electric vehicle arm of West Midlands based bodybuilder Bevan Group, which also fitted its 1,000kg Dhollandia tail-lift. The truck leaves DB Schenker’s depot each morning with its batteries fully charged, and will typically cover up to 90km making as many as ten deliveries and a similar number of collections during each round. The eCanter returns to base at the end of the day, its laden weight only rarely having dropped below 6.0 tonnes, and is recharged overnight.
