Opel/Vauxhall Vivaro e-Concept
Opel revealed the Vivaro e-Concept, its first electric van capable to deliver an impressive extended range of up to 400 kilometers or 248 miles. The new electric van is powered by a 111 kW electric motor or 149 hp capable to deliver 370 Nm and to transform the Vivaro e-Concept into an all-electric car for almost 100 kilometers or 62 miles. Thanks to Opel’s extended range propulsion concept, the car is extending the total driving range to more than 400 kilometers.
With this car, Opel wants to prove that operators do not have to make great concessions to practicality when they choose intelligent propulsion. The Vivaro e-Concept offers 5.0 cubic meter storage capacity able to carry 750 kilograms of load, which means it is the perfect car for urban delivery drivers.
“We would like to test the acceptance of our advanced propulsion technology by showing the Vivaro e-Concept to the commercial vehicle specialists attending the show,” says Chris Lacey, Executive Director, International Operations Opel/Vauxhall Commercial Vehicles. “We are convinced that we will get a fantastic reaction from the people 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.”
