The automaker aims to offer these vans in a number of configurations, including a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greencarreports.com\/news\/1139660_mercedes-benz-confirms-us-bound-electric-luxury-van-potential-rv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S.-bound electric luxury van<\/a><\/strong> and a potential RV, alongside basic passenger and cargo vans.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the current Mercedes-Benz eSprinter, which houses an electric powertrain in a fairly standard van shell, Van.EA was designed from the start to accommodate EVs\u2014with <strong>high levels of modularity<\/strong>. Mercedes has said the platform is split into three main blocks, with front and rear blocks that can each house electric motors for single-motor or dual-motor configurations. Van.EA models are expected to be front-wheel drive in single-motor form.<\/p>\n<p>Mercedes previously indicated that all of future vans would be based on the Van.EA architecture, but last month <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greencarreports.com\/news\/1145787_mercedes-plots-new-ice-vans-reverses-course-on-electric-only\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">it reversed course<\/a>, announcing a &#8220;second variant of the architecture&#8221; called Van.CA for <strong>internal-combustion models<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Van.CA and Van.EA models will <strong>share 70% of parts<\/strong>, and will be built on the same assembly lines, Mercedes said at the time. So while the balance of power may have shifted to EVs, with the combustion-engine architecture now derived from the electric architecture, instead of the other way around, it appears Mercedes is planning for more tailpipes than previously thought.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mercedes-Benz on Monday announced that its upcoming electric van concept will be called the Vision V.
