Depending on conversion, it offers up to 1,005kg of payload and up to eight cubic metres of load space with a high box body, while remaining under five metres long. The model has been developed with European bodybuilders and supports dropside, tipper, box van and refrigerated conversions.

Two battery options will be offered. A 51.5kWh unit will be available at launch, with a 71.2kWh long range version due in 2026.

Range will vary by conversion, but the recently launched L2H1 Cargo delivers up to 185 miles with the standard battery and 260 miles with the long-range unit on WLTP. DC charging up to 150kW allows a 10-80% charge in about 30 minutes, with 22kW AC charging to follow.

Safety equipment includes a dual annular steel exoskeleton, rear underrun protection and an ADAS package with Smart Cruise Control, Lane Following Assist 2, Lane Keeping Assist and Intelligent Speed Limit Assist.

The chassis cab comes with a seven year or 100,000 miles warranty, extendable by up to 160,000 miles. The battery is covered for eight years.
