In a major step towards the widespread adoption of commercial battery-electric trucks, Velocity EV, the exclusive U.S. distributor for RIZON Truck, a subsidiary of Velocity Vehicle Group, has announced the integration of 24 Velocity Truck Center (Velocity) locations into the certified RIZON Truck sales and service network. This expansion of the network covers seven states – California, Arizona, Nevada, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Alabama.
As a key dealer partner of the Daimler Truck Group, Velocity brings years of eMobility experience to the table. Fleet operators looking to deploy zero-emission Class 4-5 cabover trucks from RIZON Truck can now benefit from the expertise of Velocity’s team at their local dealerships. Services offered include support for route planning, flexible financing through Daimler Truck Financial Services, help with identifying funding and incentives, as well as comprehensive service and maintenance under RIZON’s warranty. Customers can also test drive demonstration vehicles at select Velocity Truck Center locations.
RIZON Truck is known for delivering customer-focused commercial battery-electric cabover trucks with technology from Daimler Truck, a global leader in commercial vehicles. The lineup includes Class 4 e16M, e16L, and Class 5 e18M and e18L models, ideal for urban applications like box trucks, flatbeds, stake beds, landscape dumps, and reefers with daily routes of up to 160 miles. The trucks feature an electric power take-off (ePTO) that can be controlled from the cab, allowing for the use of specialized equipment like reefer belt drives and hydraulic pumps.
Alex Voets, general manager of Velocity EV, expressed confidence in the expanded network, stating, “With all Velocity dealers now part of the certified RIZON Truck network, we are well-positioned to offer our fleet customers comprehensive sales support and maintenance services from coast to coast.” This move aligns with RIZON Truck’s commitment to providing robust support for its electric trucks, ensuring maximum uptime and operational efficiency for fleet operators.
The integration of Velocity dealers into RIZON Truck’s U.S. network comes at a time when the demand for zero-emission commercial vehicles is on the rise. Fleet operators are increasingly looking for opportunities to reduce operating costs, achieve sustainability goals, and comply with tightening emissions regulations like the California Air Resources Board’s Advanced Clean Fleets Rule.
RIZON Truck, introduced in May 2023 by Daimler Truck Group, has already made significant strides in the market. Velocity EV delivered the first trucks to customers in California this year, providing immediate availability for purchase and customization.

In conclusion, the collaboration between Velocity EV and RIZON Truck marks a significant advancement in the commercial electric trucking sector. With a strong network of dealers now certified to sell and service RIZON trucks, fleet operators across seven states have access to comprehensive support for adopting zero-emission vehicles. This move reaffirms the commitment to sustainability and innovation in the transportation industry, paving the way for a greener future.
