The LDV eDeliver 9 has established itself as a significant player in the large electric van segment in Australia, offering a zero-emissions solution for businesses that need serious cargo capacity. It’s an ambitious step for the brand, and it’s built to get the job done in a big way.

The eDeliver 9 is currently available in three distinct variants, each catering to different payload and range requirements.

• The entry point is a cab-chassis model, which is powered by a 65 kWh battery pack. This provides a WLTP driving range of 150 km, making it best suited for urban routes with a return to a charging depot at the end of each day.
• The van lineup includes two long-wheelbase models, the Mid Roof and High Roof, both equipped with a larger 88.5 kWh battery. This battery boosts the WLTP range to 280 km and 275 km respectively, providing a much more useful range for businesses with longer delivery routes.

All eDeliver 9 variants are powered by a front-mounted electric motor that produces 150 kW and 310 Nm of torque. It’s worth noting that the top speed is electronically limited to 90 km/h, which, while fine for most city and suburban driving, does highlight its focus on urban and last-mile deliveries rather than long-distance highway travel.

Pricing for the eDeliver 9 starts from around $100,000 before on-road costs, which is a significant premium over its diesel counterpart. However, this is offset by the potential for lower running costs, reduced maintenance, and the benefits of government incentives for businesses adopting electric vehicles. The eDeliver 9’s cargo capacity is a major strength, with the High Roof model offering a massive 12.33 cubic meters of volume and a payload of 1,350 kg, carrying over the practicality of the diesel model.

With a strong focus on urban logistics and a range of options for different business needs, the LDV eDeliver 9 is a compelling choice for companies looking to electrify their fleet and contribute to a greener future.
