Mercedes-Benz has started sales of its new all-electric eVito Tourer targeted towards commercial passenger transport.
The van has a starting price of 53,990 euros (NZ$95,000) and features a 421 kilometre range and standard fast charging function.
It’s available in long (5,140 mm) and extra-long (5,370 mm) versions and is being marketed for use in areas such hotel shuttles, large-capacity taxis and ride-sharing services.
“Battery-electric mobility from Mercedes-Benz is already suitable for everyday use, as shown by a range of 421 kilometres and the fast charging function,” says Andreas Böger, head of new vehicle sales at Mercedes-Benz Transporter and Vans Germany.
“Through attractive leasing rates and public funding, the eVito Tourer can easily compete with the conventionally driven Vito at the [total cost of ownership],” Böger says.
The front wheel drive eVito Tourer delivers peak power of 150 kW and up to 362Nm of torque with top speeds of 140 km/h in series or 160 km/h as optional.
The eVito Tourer has been added as a production vehicle as part of normal operations at the plant in Vitoria, northern Spain and will be manufactured alongside the Mercedes-Benz Vito, V-Class and EQV.
