ZIJCAR Trucks at a Glance

ZIJCAR is Daimler Truck’s ninth, and newest, brand and represents its dedication to zero-emission transportation. The brand and its trucks were announced to the public for the first time during the Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo in May of 2023, in Anaheim, California, and are currently in operation by customers on Canadian and American streets.

The class 4-5 medium-duty battery-electric vehicles will range from 15,995 to 18,850 lbs. in gross vehicle weight (GVW) for Canadian customers, and can run up to 177 km (for M size variant with 2 battery packs) and up to 257 km (L size variant with 3 battery packs) on a single charge*.

ZIJCAR trucks are capable of being charged by two types of battery charging systems: DC Fast Charging (via CCS1 connector), and less expensive Level 2 AC Charging (via J1772 connector). This

flexibility means customers can expect to charge their truck today while being ready for DC Fast chargers in the future.

*Under standard testing conditions with 50% payload. The range may vary based on environment, conditions, battery health/charge level, recuperation usage, road traffic/profile, and style of driving.
