RIZON Expands B.C. Presence With Electric Truck Delivery to Plett Truck Repair

RIZON, the all-electric commercial truck brand from Daimler Truck, has delivered two RIZON e18L trucks to Plett Truck Repair, further advancing the brand’s growing presence in Canada’s zero-emission commercial vehicle market.

The two medium-duty electric trucks—each upfitted with a box body—will be integrated into Plett’s customer service operations, underscoring the growing appeal of zero-emission solutions among forward-thinking commercial vehicle specialists.

Based in British Columbia, Plett Truck Repair is well known in the regional trucking industry for its commitment to quality service and innovation.

“This delivery reflects consumer confidence in RIZON’s technology and our commitment to supporting a cleaner, more efficient future for commercial transport,” said Andreas Deuschle, Global Head of RIZON Truck. “We’re proud to partner with businesses like Plett Truck Repair that recognize both the operational and environmental advantages of adopting electric trucks.”

The delivery caps off a busy period for RIZON, which also completed handovers to several municipalities in Vancouver and Quebec, as well as a business in Victoria, B.C.
