If the motor industry is serious about reducing smog in our cities, it needs to put as much effort into electrification in vans as in cars. Particularly when it comes to the more compact LCVs that account for most sales. With many of the established van brands proving slow off the mark in this regard, it's been left to a segment newcomer, Chinese maker Maxus, to show what can be done with this model, the eDeliver 3. This Chinese model compete in a crowded market for full-electric compact vans against models like the Renault Kangoo E-Tech, the Nissan Townstar Electric, the Vauxhall Combo Electric, the Citroen e-Berlingo, the Peugeot e-Partner, the Fiat E-Doblo and the Ford Transit Courier Electric. The Maxus eDeliver 3 easily undercuts all these rivals both on price and specification. But can it offer other attributes strong enough to justify business customers committing to an unknown mark in this segment?
It's certainly getting easier to make the switch to a full-EV vehicle. And Maxus has lowered the price point for entry into the BEV van sector with this eDeliver 3 and offers a high value package that many businesses won't take the trouble to check out. Those that do should find lots to like here. We'd ideally like to have seen a longer operating range - but that will come as battery technology improves. For the time being, what's on offer should meet the needs of most urban-based businesses that feel the need for a full-electric van. There's pretty much everything you need here - and not much you don't. As always with Maxus.
