The Opel Vivaro-e electric van as a platform truck
The Opel Vivaro-e Cargo, Combi, and platform chassis will now be expanded to include a medium-high platform from this point forward. The experts at Schoon Fahrzeugsysteme & Metalltechnik GmbH are in charge of the assembly process for the platform truck variant of the zero-emission light commercial vehicle. This vehicle version may be outfitted with either a 50 kWh or 75 kWh lithium-ion battery. The conversion specialists are recognized Opel partners, which means they are up to speed with Opel's stringent quality standards.
Work in the field of electrical technology that is applicable everywhere and does not require sacrifices.
The Opel Vivaro-e is the platform body's foundation because it is a platform chassis. It features one row of seats and a wheelbase that is 3.27 meters long. The medium-high platform is produced to the highest quality standards, and its dimensions are 2.44 meters long, 1.83 meters wide, and 0.40 meters deep (length x width x height). The aluminum drop sides, 40 centimeters high and located on the vehicle's sides and back, are easily foldable to accommodate universal use. The sturdy and torsion-resistant steel frame has been hot-dip galvanized, and the manufacturer guarantees it will not rust through during the next ten years. Because the loading sill height is only 86 cm, loading and unloading are made significantly more straightforward. Because the loading area has no internal wheel arches, it is entirely flat and can be used to its maximum potential. The loading area may be reached without risk thanks to a step that folds out from the interior of the back wall—the rocker panels located beneath the flatbed structure complete the utilitarian and high-quality aspect of the vehicle. The maximum payload in the version with a 50 kWh battery is 960 kg.
Regarding the transportation of tools and other items, the Opel Vivaro-e platform truck emphasizes safety as its priority. Because of this, the all-around sealed loading floor that is created out of one piece features a non-slip surface. In addition, the weight is always held securely in place thanks to the three lashing eyes that are inserted in the outer frame on each side. In the roomy back compartment that is located under the loading area, which is 2.4 meters deep, it is simple to store utensils and other instruments. The lockable top of the 1.13-meter-wide compartment can be folded down to gain access to the space. Suppose more space is required to store additional work items. In that case, Schoon provides an accessory in the form of a functional toolbox that measures 1.80 x 0.63 x 0.53 meters and is fastened to the loading area directly behind the vehicle cabin.
A maximum range of 328 kilometers, according to the WLTP. Electric performance that doesn't give up anything.
The Opel Vivaro's driving system guarantees, in addition, that the vehicle is fully functional and appropriate for day-to-day applications. To maximize the loading capacity you have come to expect from a Vivaro while minimizing the amount of space taken up by the battery, the battery has been placed on the floor of the vehicle, beneath the loading area and the rear compartment. The Opel Vivaro-e can complete any job thanks to its 100 kW (136 hp) power and its maximum torque of 260 Newton meters when it is started from a standing position. The top speed is capped at 130 kilometers per hour so that the electric carrier can easily keep up with traffic on the highway without having to reduce its range. Within the Vivaro-e is a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 75 kWh. Depending on the model version, it can store enough energy for a driving range of up to 328 kilometers (according to WLTP 1 ). Since it gets energy back when it uses regenerative braking, the new Vivaro-e is much more efficient than the old model.
It is simple to recharge its batteries using a wall box, a rapid charger, or any standard electrical outlet. Every Opel Vivaro-e is equipped with the capability of receiving a charge at a rapid charging station that provides 100 kW of direct current. A charging process can restore up to 80% of the capacity of the 75 kWh battery in about half an hour. A three-phase alternating current onboard charger with 11 kW capacity is also included as standard. Because every charging process is carried out effectively and carefully, Opel can provide a battery warranty valid for eight years or 160,000 kilometers.
In addition to their best-selling battery-electric model, the Vivaro-e, Opel also offers their tiny van, the Opel Combo-e Cargo, and their largest LCV model, the Opel Movano-e. Both of these vans are classified as light commercial vehicles. Because of this, the entirety of Opel's lineup of light commercial vehicles is now capable of being ordered in an electric and emission-free configuration. In addition, Opel is persistently carrying on with the brand's electrification by releasing a new hydrogen fuel cell van called the Opel Vivaro-e HYDROGEN.
