Iveco has unveiled its new eMoovy electric LCV for the 2.5- to 3.5-tonne segment at Hannover IAA Transportation trade show.
The Iveco eMoovy is the result of a partnership with Hyundai, utilising their eLCV platform to create a van with up to 10m³ cargo volume and a payload capacity up to 1.5-tonne.
The eMoovy can charge at up to 350kW to add 100km of range in under 10 minutes and has an official range of 320km according to the official figures.
The eMoovy comes with a 160kW (215hp) electric motor with peak torque of 350Nm.
Two battery packs are available, either a 76kWh version or a 63kWh battery. The 76kWh option offers a maximum range of around 320km.
As well as DC charging, the eMoovy is compatible with AC charging which is suitable for home charging up to 7kW single-phase or up to 11kW three-phase. Equipment, tools and the vehicle body can be powered using the eMoovy’s vehicle-to-load function. This can provide an AC 230V up to 3.6kW to power things like refrigerated units.
Inside, the eMoovy is equipped with a 10.25-inch infotainment screen, heated and ventilated seats, heated steering wheel, air conditioning and keyless entry and go. Standard safety equipment includes smart cruise control with stop and go, lane keeping and following assist, forward collision avoidance assist, junction turning assist, and advanced driver distraction warning.
Luca Sra, Iveco Group president truck business unit, said: “The eMoovy is the first completely new vehicle born from our partnership with Hyundai, a testament to our shared commitment to zero-emission mobility. With the eMoovy, we further expand our electric propulsion offerings, entering a new segment to provide our customers with a broader choice of effective solutions to support their energy transition and enhance their business operations. This launch represents a further step forward in our partnership, as we continue to leverage our respective know-how and advanced technologies to drive progress towards our shared objective of accelerating the transition to net zero carbon.”
Ken Ramírez, executive vice president and head of global commercial vehicle and hydrogen business at Hyundai Motor Company, added: “This innovative vehicle showcases Hyundai and IVECO’s shared commitment towards a carbon-neutral future. By leveraging Hyundai’s pioneering global eLCV platform, we aim to advance EV mobility technology with IVECO’s European expertise to position eMoovy as the leading transport platform that can transform the market.”
Drivers can also access the eMoovy app which allows the remote management of charging, doors and cab temperature. A smart routing system is integrated into the infotainment system and optimises routes with charging stops advised along the way. Transport managers can oversee fleet availability, charging, battery status, location and routes using the Iveco on portal.
