LECV launches EV van trial
London Electric Vehicle Company (LEVC) has started the real-world testing of a new electric van with parcel delivery firm DPD.
The trial phase will take place over the next few months and will see over 25 partners take delivery of the test vehicles.
Joerg Hofmann, LEVC CEO, said: “We are delighted that DPD is the first company to begin testing of our VN5 taxi-van prototypes. These real-world tests mark a milestone occasion in the history of LEVC, as the company continues its transformation from an iconic British taxi brand to a leading electric vehicle manufacturer.
“VN5 is set to revolutionise green logistics and we are looking forward to working with DPD as it puts the vehicle through its paces. Feedback from major business operators will be crucial to the further development of the van as we rapidly move to its launch in Q4 this year.”
