RIZON Truck Introduces New e18Mx and e18Lx Models and Enhanced Warranty for MY2025
May 20 2024 - 11:03AM
RIZON Truck, engineered and built by Daimler Truck Group, proudly
announced the expansion of its Class 4 to 5 battery-electric
cabover truck lineup with the introduction of two new models—the
e18Mx and the e18Lx—during the 2024 Advanced Clean Transportation
(ACT) Expo held at the Las Vegas Convention Center. These models
offer enhanced payload capacities and innovative features tailored
for urban and local deliveries.
The e18Mx and e18Lx offer upgraded payload capacity of 18,850
pounds, compared to 17,995 pounds for the current models. The new
models are part of RIZON’s ongoing commitment to offer fleet
operators more robust and efficient zero-emission vehicle
options.
Alex Voets, General Manager of Velocity EV, stated, "The
introduction of the e18Mx and e18Lx models with increased payload
capacity isn't just about helping customers carry more cargo; it's
about maximizing efficiency. With these new models, businesses can
achieve higher efficiency by reducing the number of trips needed
for local deliveries, ultimately saving on costs and enhancing
their bottom line.”
RIZON Truck’s certified U.S. dealer partners are now accepting
orders for the 2025 model year, which will come standard with an
enhanced class-leading warranty package that now protects the
powertrain and high voltage electrical equipment for 8
years/120,000 miles and the high voltage batteries for 8
years/185,000 miles. The announcement was complemented by an
interactive display at ACT Expo, where attendees had hands-on
access to RIZON’s zero-emission vehicles, including an e18M with a
dump body from Valew and a bare chassis, as well as an opportunity
to test drive an e18L box truck.
RIZON’s battery-electric cabover trucks are designed for local
goods movement, urban deliveries, and refrigerated deliveries. They
can be customized with different body options such as box trucks
and stake beds, and feature a tight turning radius ideal for city
driving. Advanced safety features like collision avoidance are
standard. The trucks offer up to 160 miles on a single charge and
support both Level 2 AC and DC fast charging, providing flexibility
and efficiency in operations.
All RIZON models are eligible for California’s Hybrid and
Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP), which
offers a base voucher of $60,000 per vehicle, further enhancing the
accessibility and affordability of sustainable fleet
solutions.
