Explore the features, equipment and unique technology that make VN5 a truly innovative electric van that challenges the conventional wisdom of the commercial vehicle market.
ECITY TECHNOLOGYVN5 delivers a total flexible range of 304 miles (WLTP) with ultra-low emissions of just 21 g/km CO2 on the combined WLTP* cycle. This cycle delivers a pure electric zero emissions range of over 60 miles*, and the more frugal driver could achieve a 75 miles* range in Pure EV mode, according to WLTP city methodology. An electric motor always drives the rear wheels. The 31 kWh battery is supported by a petrol range-extender, which eliminates range anxiety and provides greater usability and flexibility. The range extender has no mechanical connection to the driven wheels, acting simply as a generator to supply charge to the battery if and when required. Naturally, the powertrain in VN5 is Euro 6 compatible.
*These figures may not reflect real life
driving results, which will depend upon a number of factors including accessories fitted (post-registration), variations in weather, driving styles and vehicle loads.
Flexible operating, all day longVN5 can be adapted to your needs with three intuitive drive modes which further enhance operational efficiency. Pure EV mode provides zero emissions electric-only power, Save mode activates the range-extender to preserve electric energy for later use, and Smart mode actively switches between battery power and the range-extender for a more convenient journey.
Liquid Cooled BatteryVN5 adopts advanced, active liquid battery cooling technology, which circulates a cooling solution to keep the battery at a comfortable temperature and minimise degradation. This is more effective than passive air cooling systems that use ambient air to cool the battery, because if the air outside is already warm, it won't cool the battery as effectively as a liquid refrigerant. Think air conditioning vs standard ventilation on a hot day.
The battery is protected by an 8 yr / 240k miles warranty as standard.
CLASS-LEADING CHARGING CAPABILITIESVN5 boasts market leading on-board charging capability, with access to slow, fast and rapid charger points. While some competitors take hours, the superior charging capabilities of VN5 can recharge the battery from 0-100% in approximately 30 minutes (using its 50kW charger). This means less time wasted fuelling/charging, more time working.
Standard on all variants
2-stage Regenerative BRAKING With two stages of energy recovery available, VN5 can regenerate power while braking by capturing much of the vehicle's kinetic energy, converting it in to electricity to maintain the battery charge level - helping you go further. Regenerative braking lets an operator even control their driving with one pedal, bringing the vehicle to a stop and regenerating power at the same time, simply by releasing the accelerator - helping reduce wear on brake pads.
Standard on all variants
Data-driven fleet management VN5 is compatible with a range of telematic systems. Data collected offers valuable insight into the driving behaviour, productivity and economy of your fleet. This tracking and optimisation can help deliver real benefits such as increased uptime and reduced operating costs.
Geofencing ReadyVN5 comes ready to accept geofencing technology, which will enable the vehicle to automatically modify its operating settings based on its current location. For instance, geofencing could automatically activate to ensure the vehicle is switched to Pure EV electric-only mode upon entering a low-emission zone in an inner-city area - therefore avoiding any emissions charges.
Unrivalled MANOEUVRABILITYVN5 features class-leading manoeuvrability. A precise turning circle of just 10.1m ensures drivers can always get through the urban maze without any drama. The tight turning radius saves you constant reversing in busy environments.
A NEW STANDARD IN CONSTRUCTIONVN5 has been designed to last twice as long as a conventional van, adopting first in sector Sheet Moulded Composite exterior panels. SMC panels are lightweight and immensely strong, with a durability that will enhance the operating life of the vehicle, and help maintain its residual value.
AUTO ADJUSTING LED LIGHTSTo help ensure the driver has full visibility of the road at all times, the stylish headlight design features an automatic self-levelling system which keeps the headlights aimed down at the road ahead, no matter the position of the vehicle.
