The LCV has been designed to meet increasing European demand for green, electrified commercial transport.
It is made by the same company that manufactures the world’s only purpose-built range extended electric taxi.
The LCV is based on the same architecture and e-City range extender technology as LEVC’s TX Taxi, of which 2,500 have now been sold.
It boasts an electric range of 80 miles and a combined petrol and EV range of 377 miles.
