Mitsubishi Fuso x ORIX develops a proposal that combines the business affiliated commercial EV truck "ECANTER" in the "Environmentally Considering Power Retail Business"

Supporting the activities of the transport industry, such as achieving RE100 (removal carbon) and reducing CO2 emissions

　Mitsubishi Fuso Truck Bus (MFTBC) and ORIX announced on December 27 that they had a business alliance with ORIX's environmental -friendly power retail.In this business alliance, MFTBC proposed ORIX's environmentally friendly electricity, along with the electric small truck "ECANTER".The client can select a low CO2 (carbon dioxide) emission coefficient menu and renewable energy from ORIX's abundant environmental -friendly power menu.

　By simultaneously proposing a zero emission vehicle called ECANTER and environmentally friendly power, it will support client's environmental consideration, and eventually contribute to acceleration of carbonization in the logistics industry.First of all, we will start activities at pre -sales bases, and will expand the development area sequentially after 2022, except Hokkaido, Shikoku, and Okinawa.

　MFTBC has set the goal of making all the new models in Japan as a model to run all the new models in Japan by 2039, and the ECANTE, the first mass -produced electrical truck in Japan, released in 2017.The feature is that CO2 does not discharge when driving.Until now, more than 300 cars have been delivered worldwide, and clients continue to have strong inquiries.

　In addition, in order to support social conversions to e -mobility, including Ecanter, we have also promoted the construction of an "ecosystem" that comprehends a series of cycles in the operation and spread of e -mobility.The collaboration on the power, which is the basis of the electrification of vehicles, is part of the efforts to build an ecosystem.

　ORIX, on the other hand, started the electricity retail business in 2009 as a retail electric operator.Currently, the supply area of Tohoku Electric Power, TEPCO, Chubu Electric Power, Hokuriku Electric Power, Kansai Electric Power, Chugoku Electric Power, and Kyushu Electric Power is provided mainly for special high -voltage and high -voltage power facilities such as stores and office buildings.It also provides "energy -saving services" that understands the energy usage status of client factories, warehouses, and stores, and provides total support from proposals to energy -saving methods to implementation.

　MFTBC and ORIX say that they will support the client's decarbonized efforts by the two companies' specialty areas and accelerate their steps to realize a carbon native society.
