Continuing the lineage of unusual EVs, such as the towing world-record-breaking Iveco eDaily from 2023, the Mobile Power Station highlights the power of the eDaily’s ePTO as part of the EV Café Village.
The eDaily version retains the same truck-based chassis while offering a modular battery set-up and unrivalled 50kW ePTO onboard power that’s able to power heavy-duty equipment and items such as compactors, fire-fighting equipment, road maintenance machinery and gully cleaners.
The Mobile Power Station is based on a 4.25-tonne, three-battery eDaily (42S14e) with 15kW high voltage ePTO. Using its onboard power, the van’s cargo volume contains the ‘Power Wall’, a display of energy flow from the vehicle’s batteries to various outlets.
As a show vehicle, the Mobile Power Station invited the public to charge their smart devices and laptops while simultaneously powering various items such as TV screens. Showgoers were also invited to test their focus on the van’s inbuilt giant buzzwire game by tracing the Iveco logo without making contact with the frame to win a place on the leaderboard – all powered by the vehicle.
