LEVC announces new VN5 converter strategy

LEVC (London Electric Vehicle Company) is developing a comprehensive conversion programme for its highly anticipated VN5 electric van.

LEVC has already deployed a small fleet of converted TXs to provide VN5 ‘prototype’ vehicles for trials with partners such as DPD, Royal Mail and Octopus Energy to showcase the electric van’s competence in differing working environments.

But ahead of the launch of an RHD model in Q4, LEVC is now working with industry leading converters to create authorised conversions across a number of different sectors including utilities, parcel delivery, facilities management, refrigeration and emergency services.

The conversions will incorporate the latest high-strength, lightweight materials to maximise payload and maintain durability.

All authorised international converters will be provided with an LEVC converter manual as well as having direct access to the LEVC’s design and engineering team based at Ansty, Coventry.
