CityFreighter and XPO Sales Partner on Purchase of 100 CF1 Full Electric Class 4 Trucks
CityFreighter Inc. and XPO Sales, Inc. have entered into a strategic partnership and have signed a Letter of Intent for the purchase of 100 CF1 full electric Class 4 trucks.
Both parties agree to pursue the development and sales of electric trucks. The prototype of the CF1 truck will be presented in Q2 2019, and delivery of 100 commercial units is planned for Q1 2020.
The CF 1 has been developed as a fully electric, front-drive vehicle and contains multiple weight reducing features, such as a very low-weight cargo box. The truck has been designed specifically for last mile operations with a range of ca. 100 miles. It will be charged overnight at the lot with fast charging as an option
Furthermore, the CF1 clearly differentiates itself from other market offers through its unique design approach, a totally newly-configured, driver-friendly cockpit design and unique features like digital mirrors and a keyless truck operating system.
The payload capacity will be 2.5 tons and with a minimum of 706 cubic feet, all presented in a low-floor cargo area access design. The low-loading level will be at around 44 cm (ca. 18″), and the rear axle will be equipped with an electric air suspension. This avoids the need for an electric lift system, reduces loading / unloading times and significantly lessens driver strain
