The electric Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) market is heating up, and a recent partnership between Stellantis and Iveco is set to bring more electric van options to the roads. Stellantis, a major player in the automotive industry, has announced a deal to supply electric vans to Iveco, expanding Iveco’s electric vehicle line-up. This development has significant implications for businesses and, importantly, for Trucksmith and our custom van conversions.
What’s Happening?
Essentially, Iveco will be adding Stellantis-manufactured electric vans to their range, rebadged and sold under the Iveco brand. This allows Iveco to quickly expand its electric offerings without the substantial investment needed to develop its own electric van platforms from scratch. For Stellantis, it means increased market share and production volume.
Why This Matters for Trucksmith Customers:
- Increased Electric Van Availability: This partnership will likely lead to a greater availability of electric van chassis in the market. This is crucial for businesses looking to transition to electric fleets and for Trucksmith, as it provides more base vehicles for our specialized conversions.
- More Options for Conversions: With more electric van models available, Trucksmith will have a wider range of vehicles to work with. This means more diverse and tailored conversion solutions for our customers, whether you need a bespoke LoLoader, Tipper, or Dropside configuration.
- Supporting the Electric Transition: As the UK moves towards its Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate, partnerships like this are essential for accelerating the adoption of electric LCVs. Trucksmith is committed to supporting this transition by providing high-quality, customized conversions for electric vehicles.
- Future-Proofing Your Fleet: By choosing Trucksmith conversions on these newly available electric platforms, businesses can future-proof their fleets, ensuring they remain compliant with evolving environmental regulations and benefit from the long-term cost savings of electric vehicles.
