The new VN5 electric light commercial van from LEVC (London Electric Vehicle Company) has been named Editor’s Choice at the ‘WhatVan?’ annual awards today.

The Editor’s Choice is awarded by ‘WhatVan?’ judges to an innovation or initiative that has made a considerable impact on the commercial vehicle market within the last year.

Judges praised the VN5’s flexible eCity powertrain technology, which allows van drivers to travel emissions-free while still offering a long, flexible overall range.

Joerg Hofmann, LEVC CEO, commented: ​“I am delighted to receive our first award for our new electric van. VN5 brings something new to a heavily diesel-dominated commercial vehicle sector – an eCity technology capable of both zero emissions and zero range anxiety. It’s great that WhatVan has recognised VN5’s green impact as well as its flexible loadspace, high build quality and class leading turning circle​.​”​

James Dallas, Editor of WhatVan?, said: ​“With its technology tried and tested in LEVC’s London TX taxi, the VN5 can cover 60 miles in pure electric mode and more than 300 miles when the range-extender petrol engine is engaged, making it ideal for both inter-city and inner city assignments. The VN5 is a versatile and practical van with impressive driving characteristics.​”
