Revolutionizing the Roads – The Future of Electric Trucks with RIZON

revolutionizing -img

The era of the electric vehicle isn’t just coming, it has already arrived. With each passing year, electric vehicles (EVs) gain more market share in North America, incentivized by increasing awareness of the need for eco-friendly transport and advances in EV technology. While much of the market is driven (pun intended) by family vehicles, the use of electric trucks for commercial purposes is on the rise as well.

With its medium-duty Class 4/5 electric models, RIZON is changing the way companies think about transport. What are the ingredients to revolutionizing the roads?

Be trustworthy – RIZON is developed and manufactured by the Daimler Truck Group, a global leader in the transportation industry. That means more than 125 years of expertise in truck manufacturing, a global reach and an experienced dealer network that offers a comprehensive suite of services including eConsulting guidance, infrastructure planning, fleet management systems integration, battery life-cycle management and end-of-life disposition.

Be battle-tested – Customers tell us how they need to do business, we don’t tell them. Throughout research and development, RIZON took the time to ask questions and observe business in action to truly understand the needs. Each of RIZON’s four models are designed for practical work based on that feedback. And the electric mobility platform that forms the backbone of RIZON trucks has been driven over 5 million real-world miles to ensure durability and reliability.

Be thoughtful – A RIZON truck chassis is engineered with business in mind and suitable for a wide variety of body configurations and applications to meet the specific demands of your operation. The active safety system has been made standard, including ABA, Active Side Guard Assist, and Lane Departure Warning fully integrated into the digital instrument cluster and audio system.

Be different – Revolutionary doesn’t have to mean raw. The same comfort, control and features you have come to expect from gas-powered vehicles are also available in RIZON trucks, with the added bonus of silent and smooth propulsion, less vibration and less noise. Each model supports Level 3 DCFC charging up to 104kW with a CCS1 connector and J1772 Level 2 AC charging up to 14.9kW, meaning shorter charge times that get drivers back on the road faster and reduce concerns about range.
