The eCanter is designed for densely populated areas such as Tokyo, Manhattan or London, where there is a constant need for refrigerated food delivery and urban cargo hauling, as explained by product planners for Fuso. Their first-gen truck will have a limited range of 100 miles per charge, so they are availble for lease-only plan for two years. They expect to rapidly replace this first model with newer versions with greater ranges and semi-autonomous technologies.
