FEATURES, EQUIPMENT & TECHNOLOGY

ECITY TECHNOLOGY Proven eCity Technology redefines versatility with over 300 miles total range, and 58 miles Pure EV range*. 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.

*Measured using WLTP process June 2020 - official VN5 range figures subject to final homologation and certification.

Flexible operating, all day long VN5 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.

FIRST IN SECTOR CONSTRUCTION A bonded aluminium monocoque construction benefits from a higher strength-to-weight ratio than a steel equivalent, protecting driver, passenger and precious cargo by absorbing more crash energy in an impact. The aluminium body is anodised, making it more resistant to rust than a steel van, meaning it can last twice as long as a conventional commercial vehicle.

Liquid Cooled Battery VN5 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.

FLEXIBLE CHARGING CAPABILITIES VN5 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 Ready VN5 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.

Class Leading MANOEUVRABILITY VN5 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.
