Arval reveals eLCV true range report
Fleet operators can expect to achieve around 60-70% of a model’s claimed range in real-world use, according to Arval UK.
The research conducted by the sustainable mobility specialist, at Millbrook Proving Ground, tested a number of eLCVs currently on the market, to offer understanding for fleet operators on true range capability ahead of the adoption of electric vans.
Arval UK senior consultant David Watts explained: “Our real-world testing across small, medium and large electric vans – each assessed with three payload weights in typically cold weather – shows that for fleet operators to be confident that the van won’t run out of electricity on a route, a figure of around 60-70% of the official range should be used in most cases.”
As a leading advocate of fleet electrification, Arval knows that understanding the realistic operational capabilities of an eLCV is crucial to the effective electric fleet transition process.
