DHL is among a number of companies selecting the Fuso Canter Eco Hybrid to build a more efficient truck fleet.
DHL national operations manager Alan Barnett made the decision to purchase two Eco Hybrids for metro courier work in Auckland and Christchurch – a decision he says was based on extensive research, backed by trust in the Fuso brand.
“I’ve studied the technology in the Canter Eco Hybrid and I’m 100% convinced that it will deliver on our expectations, its not just for show,” says Barnett. “We need dependability and I know from experience that Canters are simply bullet proof, they just keep going!
“While our prime concern is on reducing our carbon emissions – a key driver of our global Go Green initiative – we’ve also done our sums and believe we’ll get a good return on our investment over the life of each truck.”
“DHL joins a number of organisations around the country that have employed Canter Eco Hybrid to help lessen their environmental impact and reduce fuel costs,” said Fuso New Zealand national sales manager Mike Davidson.
“Canter Eco Hybrid is now the benchmark against which other light trucks are measured in terms of fuel economy and emissions.”
Canter Eco Hybrid’s power-train features a 110 kW Euro V 4P10 diesel engine and 40 kW electric motor, paired with a Duomic dual-clutch transmission.
Fuso says it’s the cleanest truck on the market in New Zealand, with up to 10% lower NOx and particulate emissions and 23% fuel savings compared to a standard Canter Euro.
