At the launch, company CEO Bruno Lambert said the Pelkan will feature a class-leading payload of up to 1,350kg and two battery variants of 43 and 54 kWh designed to provide extended range up to 226 and 279 km, respectively.
The company also announced a joint venture with Chinese automobile brand Chery Group, which will focus on developing, producing, and selling all-electric commercial vehicles.
The Pelkan will be delivered to customers in mainland Europe beginning mid-2024.
