The first batch of Daimler Truck’s all-electric Rizon brand trucks have been delivered to customers in California.

More units are scheduled to be handed over throughout March of 2024.

Rizon’s trucks are class 4 and 5 medium-duty battery-electric vehicles, ranging from 15,995 up to 17,995 lb. in gross vehicle weight.

They are capable of being charged by two types of battery charging systems: DC Fast and Level 2 AC Charging.

The initial deployment of Rizon trucks includes a range of customers, including LA Sanitation and Environment, Goodwill Industries and Ecorecycling.

Andreas Deuschle, Global Head of Rizon Truck said: “Being part of the Daimler Truck Group provides us with experience and knowledge coming from our electric products of trucks and buses around the globe.”

The state of California has established a goal achieving zero-emission fleets operating in-state by 2035, 2040, or 2045, depending on the truck type and size under the Advanced Clean Fleets rule (ACF).
