LEVC (London Electric Vehicle Company) has set out further details of its first electrified van VN5, which is available to order now with deliveries expected at the end of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Based on the same architecture and eCity range-extender technology as LEVC\u2019s TX electric taxi, VN5 has a pure EV range of over 58 miles and a total flexible range of over 300 miles can be achieved.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new electric van delivers a \u2018distribution to door\u2019 service, combining a long range with zero emissions capability.<\/span><\/p>\n

It can be charged in 30 minutes thanks to its 50kW DC charging capability, which could be done while loading\/ unloading. VN5\u2019s long 25,000-mile service intervals mean time spent off the road is further minimised.<\/span><\/p>\n

It has up to 5.5m3 capacity, VN5 cargo capacity easily accommodates two Euro sized pallets with a gross payload of 830kg. It has been built with a large side-loading door (enabling a pallet to be side-loaded) and a 60\/40 split door at the rear to make loading and unloading easy for the driver.\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

VN5 will enter the market later this year, offering generous standard equipment, low operating costs, a comprehensive warranty and strong residual values.<\/span><\/p>\n

Joerg Hofmann, CEO, LEVC said: \u201cVN5 sets new green mobility standards in the industry and establishes a new and highly desirable electric van segment.\u00a0 We\u2019ve applied our extensive knowledge from the taxi world to create a high quality, hard-working van with zero emissions and long-distance capability. As well as offering favourable operating benefits, VN5 fulfils the growing demand from both businesses and consumers for cleaner, more sustainable commercial vehicles.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Three VN5 variants are available \u2013 Business, City and Ultima – with a high level of standard equipment and always with the demands of the user in mind. All VN5 models feature Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), front and side driver and passenger airbags, cruise control, nine-inch touchscreen and dual zone climate control as standard as well as 50kW DC rapid charging and minimum 11kW AC fast charging capability. City trim adds a heated windscreen, front and rear parking sensors, curtain airbags and Lane Departure Warning, while the flagship Ultima features a rear-view camera, luxury seats, metallic paint and 22kW AC charging capability as standard.<\/span><\/p>\n

Six option packs are available, allowing customers to tailor to their specific preferences. The Comfort pack features luxury driver & passenger seats, Satellite Navigation, under-seat storage and a heated windscreen. The Safety pack comes with Road Sign Information system (RSI), Speed Limit Intelligent Function (SLIF), Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and curtain airbags.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, LEVC has worked with a number of Europe\u2019s leading convertors to ensure the VN5 can be equipped with racking, roof racks, light bars and other bespoke modifications required by customers in this sector. In addition, the vehicle will also be available with a range of accessories at launch including seat covers, mats and handheld devise holders to enable customers to personalise and protect their vehicles.<\/span><\/p>\n

VN5 features a class-leading turning circle of just 10.1m. Like TX, the VN5 has been designed for unrivalled mobility in busy city environments and can operate effortlessly in tight urban spaces.<\/span><\/p>\n

VN5 has been designed to last twice as long as the competition, thanks to its first in sector strong and lightweight bonded aluminium monocoque & SMC construction. This technology is resistant to corrosion and absorbs twice the crash energy of mild steel. In addition, VN5 features SMC panels which are resistant to dents and which shrug off minor impacts and help to keep the vehicle on the road.<\/span><\/p>\n

VN5 comes with a class leading five year\/150,000 mile vehicle warranty and a battery warranty of eight years\/150,000 miles. Customers can also opt for an extended warranty of six years\/200,000 miles for the vehicle and eight years\/200,000 miles for the battery.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
