The Canter is a conventional diesel light truck with a high payload and robust technology. The eCanter is all-electric, locally emission-free and particularly quiet – ideal for inner-city delivery transport. The eCanter is offered in more than 40 variants – by combining weight classes, wheelbases, cab types and battery packs.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>[\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”6. Which weight classes are available for the Canter?” tab_id=”1756809534430-41476a9d-fd41″]\n

\n
\n

The diesel Canter is available in four weight classes: 3.5t, 6.0t, 7.49t and 8.55t. The chassis load capacity is up to 6 tonnes, depending on the model.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>[\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”7. Which cab variants are available?” tab_id=”1756809634930-c78c9ab0-448d”]\n

What is the payload of the Canter?” tab_id=”1756809698648-e90a31a7-98d8″]\n

\n
\n

The chassis load capacity is between approx. 1,500 kg (3.5 t) and just under 6,000 kg (8.55 t), depending on the model. This makes the Canter one of the highest payloads in its class.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>[\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”11. What is the turning circle?” tab_id=”1756809698660-5b9c212c-b959″]\n

\n
\n

The turning circle starts at just 10.2 m (wheelbase 2,500 mm) – ideal for narrow inner cities and manoeuvring manoeuvres.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>[\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”12. What is the range of the eCanter?” tab_id=”1756809826168-3f257d4d-7c92″]\n

\n
\n

Depending on the battery pack, the eCanter offers a range of up to 200 km. The S package covers up to 70 km, the M package up to 140 km and the package up to 200 km per charge.*<\/p>\n


\n* <\/span>The range was determined internally under specific test conditions, including a partially laden vehicle with box body at an ambient temperature of 20\u00b0C, and may deviate from the values determined in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017\/2400. The actual range depends on the individual use of the vehicle, the vehicle configuration and other external factors. Therefore, the actual range may be below or above the specified value.
\n<\/small><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>[\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”13. How long does it take to charge the eCanter?” tab_id=”1756810050708-9e604a3f-8e65″]\n

\n
\n

The eCanter can be charged with both AC (alternating current) and DC (direct current). AC charging takes place with 11 kW (S battery) or 22 kW (M and L battery). For example, the S battery is charged DC from 20 to 80% in 24 min, while the L battery is charged from 20 to 80% in 39 min. AC, the S battery takes 4 hours and 12 minutes to charge (0-100%), while the L battery takes around 6 hours.**<\/p>\n


\n** <\/span>Charging time depends on various factors such as the vehicle\u2019s charging capacity, the charging station\u2019s charging capacity, the battery\u2019s state of charge (SoC), the ambient and battery temperature. The values are based on internally determined empirical values under optimal conditions of 20 \u00b0C.
