Allied Vehicles has launched two new electric vans and people carriers designed to help companies continue their urban deliveries without contributing to inner city pollution.
The eBipper van and ePartner vans and cars provide zero emissions transport, combined with a practical payload and load area based on the already successful Peugeot Bipper, Partner and Tepee models.
All eBipper and ePartner models have a range of 65 miles. The eBipper offers users a 375kg payload and 2.8 cubic metres of loadspace while the ePartner provides 549kg of payload and a 3.7 cubic meter load area.
They join the eExpert and eBoxer van, which have been designed and manufactured by Allied in Scotland in conjunction with Peugeot.
Charging is available through a domestic power socket or, in the case of the Partner, a dual-mode charger which can access either domestic single-phase or commercial three-phase supply. A three year warranty is provided on both the vehicle and the Axeon batteries (also a Scottish company).
After 18 months of development and half a million pounds of investment, the Glasgow based company – which is the UK’s largest producer of wheelchair accessible vehicles – has orders for nearly 50 of the EVs as more companies and government bodies commit to reducing their vehicle carbon footprint.
