Mercedes is preparing to launch a new line of electric vans, set to be unveiled next spring.
The vans will be built on a platform dedicated to electric vehicles, the VAN.EA, designed specifically for EVs and offering front-wheel and all-wheel drive configurations. With this platform, the brand aims to create luxury models, ranging from family vans to spacious limousines, raising the bar for exclusivity and comfort.
The VAN.EA is a modular and scalable platform that will enable the production of vans in various sizes with different battery options. All models will share a front module with an electric motor, while the rear module will provide all-wheel drive. Additionally, the platform will give rise to two types of vans: one for private use (VAN.EA-P) and another for commercial purposes (VAN.EA-C), with promised ranges exceeding 500 kilometers for private models and Level 2 automated driving, which is expected to evolve to Level 3 by the end of the decade.
Mercedes also plans to expand its sales in the United States, with luxury vans and models targeting the camper market. The company aims for electric vehicles to account for more than 50% of annual van sales within five years, reinforcing its commitment to electrification and offering more sustainable and innovative transportation solutions.
