Made by the Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC), which is a piece of Daimler Trucks, the eCanter has a scope of around 62 miles (100km).

Around 500 units will be conveyed in the following two years, Daimler said.

"Our new FUSO eCanter now tends to the expanding worldwide interest for items to meet and surpass high CO2 discharge gauges," said Marc Llistosella, CEO of MFTBC. "It offers an alluring and savvy contrasting option to ignition motors and influences electric trucks to key to the fate of internal city circulation."

At a question and answer session Llistosella said UPS would be renting the trucks as opposed to getting them, as by 2019 better batteries will proclaim another era of the eCanter with better range and lower costs.

From 2019 onwards Daimler said it would begin bigger scale creation of electric trucks.

The move pits Daimler no holds barred with EV producer Tesla, which is set to divulge its first electric truck in October. Reports recommend it would have a working scope of in the vicinity of 200 and 300 miles - more distant than the eCanter yet not yet enough to persuade a few investigators it will triumph over customarily fuelled trucks.
