Chinese start-up FLYNT has revealed its brand new all-electric van, destined for European markets next year.
The purpose-built electric van has been designed for the European fleet market from the ground-up and is set to tackle the last mile delivery sector as well as regional applications.
The van will have up to 16.5m³ of load volume, with options as small as 8.7m³ and is said to have a payload of up to 1,630kg. It will be available with multiple drivelines with front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive options.
A large 100kWh battery will top the range and give up to 500km of range, while rapid charging of up to 220kW using a DC fast charger will enable a battery top-up from 30% to 80% in just 20 minutes.
There will be a total of three battery packs with the entry-level and mid-sized battery made from Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery packs, while the 100kWh options uses a Nickel Cobalt Manganese (NCM) battery pack. The battery will also support vehicle-to-grid functionality using an 800v architecture.
Although a Chinese company, FLYNT is actually based in The Netherlands and describes itself as a next-generation, asset-light OEM, built around speed, innovation, and customers.
The van is looking to achieve high efficiency levels for such a large vehicle with a claim of 20kWh/100km efficiency, and a total cost of ownership “significantly lower than diesel vans”.
It will get Level 2 ADAS equipment and is said to be Level 4-ready.
On the inside there’s a 12.8-inch display that has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
FLYNT says it “operates through a digital-first platform that redefines the customer journey — from sales and delivery to data, connectivity, and service”. They also promise “strong local partnerships in each market to ensure uptime, support, and a premium experience tailored to European fleet needs”.
FLYNT plans to launch in 26 European countries and will have the first prototypes arriving in the first half of 2025.
Customer deliveries in Western Europe commencing in the first half of 2026.
