BYD in the UK has launched the Dolphin Cargo e-Van for commercial vehicle applications.The conversion into a light commercial vehicle (LCV) is carried out in the UK, supporting local engineering expertise while ensuring the vehicle is tailored to meet the specific requirements of British commercial operators, BYD says.The changes to create the car-derived van version involve permanently removing the rear seats and installing a full metal bulkhead behind the front seats. That frees up a load capacity of 1,093 litres (including a 47-litre underfloor storage space). The maximum load length is 1,250mm, while the minimum load width (between the wheel arches) is 1,018mm, with a maximum width of 1,160mm – all within the Dolphin Cargo e-Van's compact 4,290mm length. The maximum load height is 710mm.The phenolic ply-trimmed flat load floor area – complete with additional underfloor storage and modular subframe – is complemented by hardwearing door cards and a bumper protection film to offer robustness for all types of businesses. Added security can be provided by a number of rear window options including polycarbonate panels.AdvertisementAdvertisementPowered by a 204PS electric motor paired with a 60.4kWh battery, it offers a WLTP range of up to 347 miles in urban driving and 265 miles combined. An optional 70 mph speed limiter will also be available to support fleet optimisation and energy management.Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology enables the new car-derived van (CDV) to supply power directly to external equipment, supporting applications such as mobile servicing, site maintenance, portable lighting and tool charging without requiring additional power sources.The Dolphin Cargo e-Van is available to order priced from GBP29,358 excluding VAT (£36,305 including VAT - but VAT-registered businesses in the UK will claim back the VAT, ie not pay it).oplus_3145728"BYD launches new Dolphin Cargo e-Van in UK" was originally created and published by Just Auto, a GlobalData owned brand.
