Delivan, a commercial vehicle brand owned by Chery, is entering the European electric light commercial vehicle market. The company debuted its new range of electric vans at the IAA Transportation event in Hanover, with a full European launch scheduled for next year.
The lineup features three models built on a shared platform: L1H1 and L2H3 panel vans, and an L3 chassis cab. These vehicles are equipped with batteries ranging from 50.4kWh to 97.4kWh, providing a WLTP combined range of up to 426km. Charging from 15 to 80 percent takes approximately 22 minutes.
The L2H3 model offers a cargo capacity of 11.6 cubic meters, while the L1H1 and L3 chassis cab provide payloads of up to 1400kg and 2120kg respectively. The brand also provides fleet management tools, remote diagnostics, and maintenance services as part of its operational package.
Delivan aims to establish a network of over 100 dealerships in the UK within five years. The company plans to utilize existing Chery car dealers and dedicated commercial vehicle centers to fill market gaps. Beyond the UK, the brand is targeting Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and the Nordic countries.
