What are the best eVans on the market today?

A well-considered choice of the right type of van (‘Light Commercial Vehicle’ or LCV) is a crucial decision for companies in various sectors. Whether it is delivery services, construction projects, catering or passenger transport, selecting an optimally suited van for a specific business application has far-reaching consequences for efficiency, cost control and customer satisfaction.

After all, not all vans are the same; their load capacity, dimensions, consumption and expansion possibilities vary greatly between different models. In this context, it is more important than ever to carry out a thorough analysis and find the perfect match between business needs and van characteristics. For example, in a personal business analysis, Stroohm investigates how this choice can drive performance, influence operational costs and increase overall operational agility.

Small vans: Small vans form the backbone of fast and local distribution, such as courier services, small deliveries and local deliveries. An excellent example is the Citroën e-Jumpy, which excels in urban environments. With a load capacity of approximately 500 kg – 800 kg and an average daily mileage of 100-150 km, these agile vehicles offer the perfect balance between efficiency and flexibility.

Medium-sized vans: Medium-sized vans, such as the Maxus eDeliver9, are versatile workhorses that are suitable for various tasks. They are ideal for deliveries, removal companies and light construction work. With a payload of around 800kg – 1,500kg and an average daily mileage of 150-200km, they offer ample space and performance to suit a wide range of business needs.

Large vans: For large-scale deliveries, construction projects and mobile workshops, large vans such as the Fiat e-Ducato and Ford e-Transit are essential. With an impressive payload of around 1,500kg – 3,500kg and an average daily mileage of 150-300km, these vehicles offer the power and capacity to tackle larger tasks.

Refrigerated and freezer vans: Refrigerated and freezer vans are invaluable for safely transporting perishable goods. Models such as the Maxus eDeliver9, Fiat Ducato and Ford e-Transit can be equipped to carry temperature-controlled loads. With payloads starting at 1000 kg and a daily average mileage of 150-200 km, these vehicles ensure the integrity of sensitive cargo.

Passenger transport vans: For passenger transport, shuttle services and taxi services, passenger transport vans such as the Volkswagen ID.Buzz Cargo and the Maxus eDeliver3 offer a comfortable and efficient solution. With a lower payload due to the presence of passenger seats and a daily average mileage of 250-300 km, these vehicles combine passenger comfort with mobility.

Please note that these estimates may vary depending on factors such as specific configurations, engine choice, driving behaviour and maintenance. In the table below we have already listed which relevant models are currently available.

Operational Impact

For companies that rely on vans as an essential part of their daily operations, having a minimum range of 150 kilometers is a

crucial factor to generate revenue and maintain operational efficiency. This is important for several reasons:

1. Uninterrupted Deliveries: Companies that offer goods or services often have to serve multiple customers at different locations. A minimum real range of 150 kilometers allows the LCV to perform multiple deliveries without having to recharge in between. This allows companies to plan efficient routes and serve their customers on time without delays due to charging breaks.
2. Time and Cost Savings: An LCV with a range of at least 150 kilometers reduces the need for frequent stops to recharge. This can save companies time and money, as drivers can focus more on their tasks instead of wasting time searching for charging stations and longer charging times.
3. Flexibility and Versatility: Companies often need to be able to react quickly to changing customer needs and unexpected situations. An LCV with a significant range offers companies the flexi
