Iveco and Hyundai have been working together successfully since 2022 and have already produced an eDAILY fuel cell van amongst others.

Taking this relationship one step further, it has been announced that Iveco will market a Hyundai-manufactured battery electric chassis cab with a gross weight of between 2.6 and 3.5 tonnes. The van will be based on Hyundai’s eLCV platform which features Hyundai’s latest technology for next generation BEVs with a low-floor design that allows enhanced usability for cargo loading and carrying.

Under the partnership, Hyundai will manufacture and supply the IVECO-badged chassis cab for the European market and Iveco Group will locally customise and distribute the complete vehicles exclusively through its sales channels. Iveco Group’s new product based on Hyundai’s Global eLCV platform will have its launch at this year’s IAA Transportation 2024, planned to be held from September 16 – 22, 2024, in Hannover, Germany.

Luca Sra, President, Truck Business Unit, Iveco Group, said, “The unique partnership between Iveco Group and Hyundai Motor Company is making another significant step forward. The introduction of this new all-electric vehicle is particularly exciting for the European market, where urban and suburban distribution and delivery are crucial missions for logistics operators. We are confident that this agreement will not only strengthen our product offering but will also deepen our relationship with Hyundai, paving the way for continued collaborative projects that advance a more sustainable society.”

The new van will allow Iveco to focus their efforts with the daily at heavier weights – the Daily used to be available down to 2.6 tonnes GVW but the lighter modes had already been dropped.
