Maxus is entering the 7.5-tonne electric vehicle sector in the UK with the launch of its new eDeliver 75 truck.
Due to be officially unveiled in October, the fully electric eDeliver 75 will come with a 120kWh battery pack from CATL, and deliver an official WLTP range of 155 miles.
It will also be capable of 120kW charging, enabling a 20 to 80% charge cycle within 30 minutes on a rapid DC charger.
The eDeliver 75, which has a payload potential of 4,590kg, will be available with two wheelbase options.
Equipment will include cruise control, heated multi-function steering wheel, keyless start and exterior Vehicle to Load (V2L) capability as standard.
The trucks will also come with a traffic sign recognition system with speed limit detection, driver and passenger airbags and a 360-degree camera system integrated with reversing sensors.
A five-year vehicle and eight-year battery warranty will come as standard, backed by the Maxus UK national dealer network as well as a dedicated vehicle off-road (VOR) team at the manufacturer’s headquarters in Liverpool.
A customer launch and full pricing details are scheduled for October, with the first demonstration vehicles hitting the road in December.
Brian Patterson, Harris Group managing director, said, “The launch of the eDeliver 75 marks a defining moment not just for Maxus UK, but for the future of zero-emission logistics nationally.
“With class-leading range, rapid-charge capability and outstanding payload efficiency, the eDeliver 75 redefines what operators can expect from an electric 7.5-tonner.
“We’re offering a technologically advanced solution that supports fleets through every mile of their net-zero journey.”
