Next-generation Mercedes-Benz electric vans will be able to charge faster thanks to an 800-volt electrical architecture<\/strong> and a 22-kw AC onboard charger.<\/p>\n

Those are two of the details confirmed by Mercedes Thursday as the automaker was cold-weather testing<\/strong> these new vans in Arjeplog, Sweden, a popular spot in the Arctic Circle for such testing.<\/p>\n

Current electric vans like the eSprinter are derived from internal-combustion models, but Mercedes is taking an electric-first approach<\/strong><\/a> with its next generation of vans. Electric models will be based on a new architecture called Van.EA, with combustion models using a derivative of that architecture called Van.CA.<\/p>\n

In addition to more powerful charging, the Van.EA models<\/strong> will be available with four-wheel steering and all-wheel drive\u2014features that are common on the automaker’s electric passenger cars but that haven’t been offered on its electric vans. All-wheel-drive models are expected to have dual motors, and single-motor models will be configured for front-wheel drive, instead of rear-wheel drive, as in the current eSprinter.<\/p>\n

Mercedes plans to offer the typical array of work vehicles, plus a more luxurious model that will be previewed by a concept<\/a> dubbed the Vision V<\/a>. Production is scheduled to start next year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Expect more commingling of Mercedes’ electric and internal-combustion model lines. The next-generation 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class will be offered with all-electric and 48-volt mild-hybrid powertrains. Mercedes also recently confirmed electric versions of the larger C-Class and E-Class sedans<\/a>, as well as the GLC-Class crossover. A prototype electric GLC<\/a> was also recently tested in Arjeplog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
