An Post in Dublin uses FUSO eCanter for zero emission deliveries

News

Dublin's postal service An Post is using two FUSO eCanters for zero emission deliveries. 

It is reported that this makes An Post the very first postal service provider in the world to attain zero carbon emission delivery status within a capital city. 

The FUSO eCanter has a range of 62 miles, suitable for inner-city short-range distribution requirements of its customers. The electric drive system carries a motor (maximum output: 129 kW; maximum torque: 390 Nm) and six high-voltage (with each 420 V and 13.8 kWh) lithium-ion battery packs. With quick-charging stations, the vehicle only takes approximately one and a half hours to fully recharge.

An Post's use of the vehicles means the FUSO eCanter is now running in ten European cities in Germany, the UK, France, Portugal, the Netherlands, Denmark and Ireland.
