Electric Trucks!
Sydney, Australia, Feb 01, 2023 - An initial order of 6 FOTON T5 Light Duty
Electric trucks were delivered to Mainfreight Australia. The trucks were completed to Mainfreight
specifications, based on the current T5 cab chassis, and were handed over to Massey Wade, National
Brand & Fleet Coordinator at the company’s new Yarrunga St. Prestons Depot in Sydney. The vehicles
will be deployed by Mainfreight across four of their Interstate Transport and Warehousing Depots as
part of the company’s commitment to sustainability.
Purpose -built as an EV from the ground up, the T5 with dual 4.5t/6t GVM
capability is currently the only car licence Electric Truck on the market with ESC as standard
alongside its other safety features.
The Federal Member for Werriwa, Anne Stanley MP was present at the handover.
Ms. Stanley said,“It is great to see companies like Mainfreight
partnering with Foton Mobility in adopting zero emissions electric vehicles in running their
business”.
“Moves like this help build market confidence in the technology and
hopefully soon we will see more zero emissions delivery vehicles deployed widely across the
Australian economy”.
“The Albanese Government is consulting on the National Electric
Vehicle Strategy, and we know there are plenty of great opportunities for logistics
companies”.
FMD NSW Manager & National Manager Fleets Jeff Morgan said that it had been a
pleasure to work with Mainfreight to deliver the required outcome, and that he looked forward to
supporting Mainfreight as it transitioned the vehicles into its working Fleet.
