Speedy boosts
electric fleet Speedy has taken a step towards a more sustainable customer delivery model, in commissioning two ‘FUSO eCanter’ battery-powered trucks. One of the new machines is based at a depot near Whitehaven, Cumbria, which supplies contractors working at the Sellafield former nuclear power and fuel reprocessing site. The other works from a branch in Warrington, where it serves a client base comprised largely of building firms. “We reviewed the market before settling on the FUSO eCanter,” said
Speedy’s Fleet Director Aaron Powell. “There are battery-electric alternatives available, but these are either aftermarket conversions or vehicles that are very new. The eCanter, by contrast, is a factory-built truck that is already well proven in operation and comes with a bumper-to- bumper warranty. “Increasingly, large corporate customers are demanding that every
business in their supply chains should take all available measures to operate as sustainably as possible. In our case, that means investing in electric vans and trucks, so the eCanter is likely to feature prominently in our plans for the future.” The 7.5-tonne eCanter represents an advance in the battle to improve
air quality in towns and cities. Its electric drivetrain employs six 13.8 kWh lithium-ion batteries with a total power output of 82.8kWh. The permanent- magnet motor delivers 129kW via a single-gear transmission in the rear axle. A single charge gives the truck an effective operating range of over 100 km, which is ample for many urban delivery applications.
