Toyota’s first large-sized commercial van in Europe, the PROACE MAX, is now on sale in the UK with a choice of battery-electric (BEV) or diesel powertrains.
The BEV system produces 200kW (268bhp/270 DIN hp) and 410Nm or torque and has an official (WLTP) standard driving range of up to 260 miles. This allows the vehicle to be used for urban daily delivery schedules potentially without the need for overnight changing.
The driver can select from three modes to adjust performance to optimise driving range or power. Further energy efficiency is provided by a regenerative braking system.
The 110kWh lithium-ion battery can be recharged to 80 per cent in 55 minutes with a 150kW fast-charging system. All versions are equipped with an on-board 11kWh AC onboard charger for business or home charging.
At launch there is a single equipment grade, Icon, offering a generous array of features for practicality, safety, comfort and connectivity. Key items include a multimedia system with 10-inch touchscreen and navigation and a digital instrument cluster. Automatic air conditioning, automatic headlights with automatic high beam, a reversing camera and rear parking sensors are also provided.
Owners can adapt their vehicle to suit their specific business needs with a dedicated range of accessories, including racking and shelving systems, high-security locks and a roof platform with rear ladder.
All Proace Max panel vans are ply-lined as standard but this can be deleted on request, with a commensurate reduction in the vehicle’s on-the-road price.
