Political policies come and go, but total cost of ownership will always trump politics when it comes to managing a commercial fleet. As if to illustrate that point, Canada\u2019s first-ever class 4 medium duty battery electric dump truck was deployed this week!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Daimler-backed medium duty electric truck brand RIZON has been making waves in the commercial truck space thanks to its car-like driving dynamics<\/a>, high-performance electric motors, low cost of ownership, and a combination of practical range and high-speed charging capability that\u2019s tough to beat in the class 4-6 cabover segment.<\/p>\n

That math is something that the engineers at Villamar Construction, a leading custom home builder in Victoria, BC, absolutely understand.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy investing in the first\u00a0Rizon\u00a0EV dump truck in Canada, we at Villamar are turning our ambition into action and setting a new standard for innovation and environmental responsibility in our industry,\u201d says JT Brown, sales manager at Villamar. \u201cCanada\u2019s commitment to a net-zero future by 2032 inspires us to lead the way in both construction and sustainability.\u201d<\/p>\n

RIZON offers four model variants in Canada, with GVWRs ranging from 15,995 to 18,850 lbs. and range of up to 257 km (160 miles) for L variants. Canada-spec RIZON truck models are spec \u2018ed for superior cold-weather performance with an electric preconditioning function that brings the spacious cabin and batteries up to ideal temperatures with power from the grid as standard equipment<\/a>.<\/p>\n
