LDV has announced that the first examples of its all-new eDeliver 5 electric van have been airfreighted to Australia, with customer deliveries to start in July. Pricing is sharp, with a starting price of $47,990 drive-away for ABN holders as a limited time launch offer, making it one of the most affordable vehicles in the electric van segment in Australia.

LDV is keen to fulfil customer interest, hence the airfreighting of models into Australia for final validation testing. From today, Australian buyers can officially register their interest, via the portal on the LDV Australia website.

“There has been a seismic shift in consumer behaviour due to recent geo-political tensions, fuel insecurity, and surging diesel costs,” said Dinesh Chinnappa, General Manager of LDV Australia. “With that in mind we brought forward our plans to introduce the LDV eDeliver 5 to the Australian market, which is why stock will initially be limited.”

All three versions are powered by a 120kW/240Nm electric motor, which drives the front wheels. There’s a 64kWh battery pack, and vehicle-to-load (V2L) capability, meaning the eDeliver 5 is capable of handily offering power on the go. It is also the first electric LDV with v2L capability on sale in Australia.

Driving range is claimed by WLTP testing to be 335km, 321km and 301km respectively across the model range, while the SWB version can accommodate 1200kg, and the LWB variants able to carry 1265kg. LDV claims 20-80 percent charging in 36 minutes at the peak intake rate of 70kW, which can be accommodated by most modern DC fast chargers.
