Daimler Annual Report 2011 - Alle jaarverslagen

2 | Innovation and Growth
Shaping future transportation:
CleanDrive vehicle concepts
for lower fuel consumption
Daimler is also drastically reducing its commercial vehicles’
emissions and fuel consumption. This approach includes
the electrification of all commercial vehicle classes, from
light vans to heavy-duty trucks. Daimler Trucks has already
delivered hybrid and battery-electric models. Examples
include the Freightliner Custom Chassis MT E-CELL
All-Electric Delivery Van and the Fuso Canter E-CELL.
Outstanding performance:
Freightliner Custom Chassis
MT E-CELL All-Electric
The Freightliner Custom Chassis MT E-CELL All-Electric
Delivery Van has been making a huge impression in terms
of aerodynamics, lightweight design and environmental
compatibility since 2011. The pioneering walk-in van with
an all-electric drive system and plug-in technology has
distinguished itself in urban and environmentally sensitive
applications with its powerful performance and a range
of 160 kilometers on just a single battery charge.
Silent light-duty truck: Fuso Canter E-CELL
The prototype of Daimler’s first battery-electric light-duty
truck is a major step on the road to zero-emission mobility
in the demanding delivery sector. The emission-free Canter
E-CELL, which is almost silent and has a range of about 120
kilometers, is ideal for inner cities and other environmentally
sensitive areas. The Canter E-CELL prototype has been on
the road since 2011; small-batch production of the model
will follow soon.
