Liberty's electric van looks quirky, but promises to "Deliver"

The DELIVER Electric Van Is A Sci-Fi Package Shipper


This funky-looking electric van prototype is built as a new generation of urban delivery vehicles developed by the DELIVER consortium, first shown to the public recently in Masstricht, Netherlands. It is the product of a European design process, which focuses on reducing the environmental impact of light commercial vehicles in urban areas. The acronym stands for Design of Electric Light Vans for Environment-Impact Reduction

Sports cars and crossovers are what tend to excite normal people, but I know that many of our readers are more excited by practical vehicles such as electric buses and electric vans. Here’s an interesting one that looks to me as if it’s out of Robocop. With more capacity than a comparable gasoline- or diesel-powered van, innovative driver features, and big fuel cost savings certain, it seems like this electric van could be a winner. Let’s hope it gets manufactured and there aren’t any significant issues preventing it from finding a decent place in the market.
