Ample partners with Mitsubishi Fuso to bring battery swapping to electric trucks


Ample, which currently operates battery swapping stations in San Francisco, is now working with Mitsubishi Fuso (of which Daimler Truck is the majority owner), to build a battery-swapping system for electric last-mile-delivery fleets.

“Our partnership will deliver Mitsubishi Fuso electric trucks powered by Ample’s Modular Battery Swapping technology,” says Ample. “The initial deployment will leverage Mitsubishi Fuso’s latest all-electric FUSO eCanter starting this winter in Japan.”

Ample says its swapping stations will offer a “gas-station-like experience” that enables electric trucks to install a fully-charged battery in 5 minutes, ensuring maximum on-the-road utilization of the vehicle. Trucks can even be loaded and unloaded during a battery swap.
