The city of Colwood has become the first municipality on Vancouver Island to deploy a RIZON all-electric truck—an e16M model.
The Class 4 medium-duty truck—upfitted with a dump body—will be integrated into Colwood’s municipal wellness and public works services. The vehicle supports a broader initiative to reduce fleet emissions while maintaining dependable day-to-day performance across city operations.
“Colwood’s adoption of a RIZON truck is a great example of how local governments can lead the charge toward zero-emission transportation,” said Andreas Deuschle, Global Head of RIZON Truck. “We are proud to support municipalities like Colwood as they take real action to build healthier, more sustainable communities through innovative fleet choices.”
The delivery caps a busy month for RIZON, which also completed handovers in Vancouver and Quebec.
