Maxus unveils its latest electric van as it continues drive into UK market

Chinese vehicle manufacturer Maxus has unveiled the e-DELIVER 7 - its latest all-electric van - as it continues its drive into the UK electric van market.

This new addition to the Maxus eDELIVER range lands at mid-point, bridging the gap between the smaller eDELIVER 3 and the larger eDELIVER 9.

The eDELIVER 7 offers a range of up to 226 miles on a single charge from its 88kWh battery and comes in three size configurations, with a payload of up to 1200kg.

It also features a 150kW /330Nm high power, low energy motor with an acceleration time of 0-100km in 11 seconds. The eDELIVER 7 also offers three driving modes, Eco, Normal and Power and a one-touch start.

Safety features include blind spot detection, lane change assist, autonomous emergency braking system (EABS), fatigue driving monitoring, plus front and rear parking sensors and 360 degree cameras.

A 12.3inch touch screen infotainment system is also included as standard with Apple Carplay and Android Auto available.

Speaking at the launch of the eDELIVER 7, Mark Barrett, Harris Maxus director said the Maxus eDELIVER 7 is the company’s sixth vehicle launch in just seven years.

He added: “In that time, we have positioned ourselves as a market leader when it comes to electric vehicles and the eDELIVER 7 builds on our EV range, securing our position in this regard.

“Our electric vans have proven popular with businesses in the delivery, pharma and grocery/retail sectors, as well as being the number one choice for many local councils that are looking to switch to electric.

“Our latest addition is pitched at those who need more payload capacity than the eDeliver 3, but who may not need the full-size capabilities of our eDeliver 9.”
