Rizon Truck distributor Velocity EV, a subsidiary of Velocity Vehicle Group, has rebranded as Rizon USA. As an authorized distributor, it will continue to expand Rizon’s dealer network and contribute to infrastructure support for zero-emission medium-duty trucks. Rizon, owned by Daimler Truck, produces Class 4-5 commercial electric vehicles, including the upcoming e18Mx and the e18LX, which are planned to launch in 2025.

“Velocity EV’s rebranding to Rizon USA shows the confidence our partners have in this brand and its products,” said Andreas Deuschle, global head of Rizon. “With a strong alignment to Daimler Truck’s vision and technological advancements, Rizon USA is very well-positioned to deliver customer-focused e-mobility solutions.”

Rizon USA will continue to expand its dealer network from its current locations in California, Oregon, Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and Alabama.
