There's never been a more opportune time to consider going electric for your business. Here's why the LDV eDeliver 7 is the ultimate choice.

The LDV eDeliver 7 ranges in price from $63,990 drive-away for the short-wheelbase low-roof 77kWh model, to $69,990 drive-away for the long-wheelbase high-roof model (both for ABN buyers).

The eDeliver 7 has a modern automotive design, seamlessly marrying form with function. Its aerodynamic silhouette commands attention and helps to enhance efficiency.

The bold front grille, sleek LED lighting, and intelligent layout are tailored to meet the demands of 21st-century delivery logistics.

Intelligent design touches, such as unlock buttons on both the driver and passenger sides, streamline day-to-day operations, making this van not only visually appealing but also highly functional.

Four models of the LDV eDeliver 7 are available – with combinations of short or long wheelbase, low or high roof, and 77kWh or 88kWh batteries.

Which one is right for you will depend on the types of cargo you’ll be carrying, the range you require, and the payload necessary for your business.

All models are rated to tow up to 1500kg with a braked trailer, and 750kg with an unbraked trailer.

Stepping inside the LDV eDeliver 7, one immediately notices the emphasis on comfort and connectivity.

The interior is designed to serve as a mobile office, equipped with a 12.3-inch infotainment system that supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, taking full advantage of its wide aspect ratio.

This means drivers can stay connected and entertained on the go, enhancing productivity during long delivery routes.

Ergonomic features ensure that controls are within easy reach, while thoughtful additions like padded door trims for resting your arm, heated outboard seats, and a heated steering wheel elevate the driving experience.

Flip down the centre armrest and you’ll find a handy working area and additional cupholders. Under the passenger seat is some additional hidden storage too, ideal for keeping equipment and other items hidden away from prying eyes when parked.

The LDV eDeliver 7 is engineered with ample space and versatile storage solutions, so cargo is easily accommodated.

The wide opening door on the kerb side makes loading and unloading safer in high-traffic environments, while the barn doors at the rear and the space between the wheel arches are designed to fit a standard Australian pallet.

Payload capacities range from 1175kg on the long wheelbase, high-roof model to 1350kg on the short wheelbase, low-roof model.

The doors can be locked open at 90 degrees or 180 degrees, providing flexibility and ease during loading and unloading operations, which is crucial for businesses that rely on efficient logistics.

At its heart, the LDV eDeliver 7 boasts a energetic electric powertrain equipped with an electric motor and a range of lithium-ion battery capacities tailored to suit your business needs.

Whether navigating urban streets or cruising on highways, it delivers smooth, instant torque and a responsive driving experience that surpasses expectations for a commercial vehicle.

With 150kW of power and 330Nm of torque, the eDeliver 7 offers performance that is surprising for a van of its nature.

Depending on the body style chosen, the 77kWh or 88kWh battery provides impressive range, with up to 362km possible on the long wheelbase, low roof, 88kWh model based on WLTP (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure) testing.

The regenerative braking can be adjusted between three different modes to help maximise energy recovery depending on the driving situation.

Safety is paramount, and the LDV eDeliver 7 does not disappoint. It comes equipped with a suite of advanced driver assistance and safety technologies as standard.

These include autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, a lane-departure warning with lane-keep assist, and a rear cross-traffic alert.

These features assist in protecting both the driver and their cargo on every journey.

Adaptive cruise control is a dream on longer drives. Its stop-and-go functionality takes the stress out of bumper-to-bumper traffic, and is even able to bring you to a complete stop when the car in front stops at the traffic lights.

Parking in tight loading docks is easy too thanks to front and rear parking sensors plus a crisp and clear reversing camera.

These technologies make driving the eDeliver 7 not only safer but also more convenient and less stressful.

Embracing electric vehicles isn't just about sustainability; it can also be a smart economic decision. The LDV eDeliver 7 can deliver significant savings compared to the fuelling and servicing costs of petrol or diesel vans.

Running costs for electric vehicles can be more affordable than diesel or petrol vehicles, and various government incentives for electric vehicles (which vary by state and territory) can help with the upfront costs.

On a fast charger, both the 78kWh and 88kWh models can charge from 20 to 80 per cent in as little as 43 minutes depending on the conditions, meaning you can be back on the road quickly.

With fewer moving parts, servicing is simpler and more cost-effective. The LDV eDeliver 7 comes with competitively priced capped-price servicing on nominated vehicles, ensuring that costs can be planned well in advance.

Over a period of six years or 90,000km (whichever comes first), you could spend just $1165 for scheduled standard servicing.

The LDV eDeliver 7 is backed by a five-year, 160,000km (whichever comes first) vehicle warranty and an eight-year, 250,000km (whichever comes first) battery warranty, guaranteeing many years of faithful service.

With zero tailpipe emissions and reduced emissions when charged with green energy sources like solar, the LDV eDeliver 7 contributes to cleaner air and a smaller carbon footprint when compared to petrol or diesel vehicles.

The LDV eDeliver 7 is a practical and cost-effective workhorse for your business that just happens to be electric.

It stands as a testament to how far electric mobility has come, offering a compelling mix of performance and efficiency.

For businesses looking for solutions that are better for the environment while benefiting from the latest technology, the LDV eDeliver 7 is the ideal choice.
