The cities of Athens and Thessaloniki in Greece have ordered 89 FUSO eCanter trucks from Portugal-headquartered truck maker FUSO, which is owned by Daimler Truck, for waste collection in their metropolitan areas.
Forty of the trucks are expected to be deployed in November, and the rest will be delivered over the course of 2025.
The trucks are configured with bodies and rotating drum compaction technology from Greek refuse-collection equipment manufacturer Kaoussis. The lift system is compatible with two-wheeled waste bins of 80- to 390-liter capacity, and features integrated diagnostic monitoring from specialized vehicle equipment manufacturer Terberg, which is based in the Netherlands. The 8.55-tonne vehicles have a battery capacity of 82.6 kWh and a range of up to 140 km.
“Thanks to its compact dimensions and high chassis load-bearing capacity, the electric eCanter is ideally suited for waste disposal companies that operate in narrow streets,” said Florian Schulz, Head of Sales, Marketing and Customer Services at FUSO Europe.
