Spanish Fleet Operator Expands Its Electric Truck Rollout
Transportes Ocón introduced 15 FUSO eCanter electric trucks into its national delivery fleet. The units support daily operations for Correos, Spain's postal service. The company wants lower running costs and quieter operation across dense routes.
Transportes Ocón manages 1,120 vehicles and employs more than a thousand drivers. The business runs temperature-controlled transport, parcel movement, and pallet distribution. Adding electric trucks helps reduce fuel exposure and improves cost planning.

Key Specifications of the FUSO eCanter Models
The fleet includes the 7C18e and 9C18e variants. The trucks use compact frames suited for tight delivery zones. Each unit includes a cargo box with a tail lift.
Battery and Range
Transportes Ocón selected two battery options:
- M battery pack: Up to 140 km of range.
- L battery pack: Up to 200 km of range.
Both models accept AC and DC charging, giving the fleet flexibility for overnight depot charging or shorter recovery sessions.
Why the Company Added Electric Trucks
Transportes Ocón said the addition supports its plan to reduce emissions and maintain competitive operating costs. Electric trucks cut fuel use on short, repeatable urban routes. Lower brake wear and fewer mechanical components reduce maintenance time.
The Fuso eCanter's compact size helps drivers manage crowded delivery streets. The quiet drivetrain reduces noise during early distribution windows.
Operational Impact
The trucks run fixed postal routes with predictable mileage. Charging cycles align with daily return-to-depot patterns. Fleet managers track consumption, charging time, and range data to refine route assignments.
Benefits for Urban Delivery
- Lower energy cost per kilometer.
- Reduced maintenance interruptions.
- Zero tailpipe emissions.
- Suitable range for city routes.
Outlook for Electric Urban Freight
Electric trucks continue expanding across European city fleets. Operators want predictable energy spending and lower long-term operating costs. Transportes Ocón intends to grow its electric share as route and infrastructure data improve.
