Premier Truck Group of Mississauga has entered a contract to be a Rizon Truck Canada dealer servicing the Greater Toronto and Southern Ontario areas. Rizon, a commercial electric truck brand developed and manufactured by Daimler Truck, offer a zero-emission alternative for fleets.

“We are excited to expand Rizon Trucks in the Canadian market through our partnership with Premier Truck Group of Mississauga,” said Adam Crowston, general manager of Rizon Truck Canada. “As businesses seek more sustainable transportation options, we are committed to providing reliable and efficient electric trucks that support their transition to a greener future.”

Rizon said its Class 4-5 all-electric vehicles are designed for durability, efficiency, and sustainability and provide exceptional performance while helping businesses lower their carbon footprint and operating costs.

Ideal for last-mile delivery, municipal services, and various commercial fleet applications, Rizon said its trucks are paving the way for a cleaner future in the transportation industry.

Through Premier Truck Group’s extensive dealership network, fleet operators in Southern Ontario will have access to Rizon’s state-of-the-art electric vehicle technology, supported by expert sales representatives, charging infrastructure guidance, and financing options.

“Rizon trucks are an ideal fit for the urban areas of the Greater Toronto Area,” said Ron Long, president and CEO of Premier Truck Group

Rizon’s Zero-Emission Trucks

Rizon is Daimler Truck’s ninth, and newest, brand and represents its dedication to zero-emission transportation. The brand and its trucks were announced to the public for the first time during the Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo in May of 2023, in Anaheim, California, and are currently in operation by customers on Canadian and American streets.

The Class 4-5 medium-duty battery-electric vehicles will range from 15,995 to 18,850 pounds in gross vehicle weight (GVW) for Canadian customers and can run up to 177 km (for M size variant with 2 battery packs) and up to 257 km (L size variant with 3 battery packs) on a single charge.

Rizon trucks are capable of being charged by two types of battery charging systems: DC Fast Charging (via CCS1 connector), and less expensive Level 2 AC Charging (via J1772 connector). This flexibility means customers can expect to charge their truck today while being ready for DC Fast chargers in the future.
