Opel/Vauxhall reveals Vivaro e-Concept at Hanover

By / 14 years ago / Latest News / No Comments

The Vivaro’s 111kWh lithium ion batteries supply 370Nm of torque, enabling over 95km / 60 miles pure electric driving range, and on longer journeys, a range extender enables the vehicle to be driven up to approximately 400km / 250 miles. The technology means that the van is driven using engine and electric propulsion, which the firm says allows drivers to reach their destinations anxiety-free.

The lithium ion battery modules, which can be re-charged on a standard household 240V outlet, are mounted under the floor of the vehicle where they are protected from the elements providing 5.0m3 of load capacity and up to 750kg of payload.

Chris Lacey, executive director, international operations Opel/Vauxhall Commercial Vehicles, said: 'We are convinced that we will get a fantastic reaction from commercial vehicle specialists who use such vehicles on a daily basis. Electric mobility will allow them to travel in city areas which are now off-limits to petrol and diesel-powered vehicles and the range-extender technology makes it possible to use an electric van for normal routine business.'
