PRINCE GEORGE — Rosenau Transport Prince has launched its first fully electric delivery in Prince George. Prince George is one of four communities across Canada that will have a 5-ton 100% electric delivery truck. This shift in how they deliver is part of a journey towards zero emissions.

With a fresh charge from a 400-volt charging system, it’s ready to go to work and make deliveries within the city.

The company purchased four Canadian-made Lion 6 100% electric five-ton trucks to add to their fleet. One of the EV five tons found a home here in Prince George. This zero-emission truck will replace a current diesel truck.
