The electric box van experts at Harbinger announced a new, EREV version of their medium-duty van that pairs a big battery with a small, gas-powered ICE engine to offer fleets that are hesitant to electrify a massive 500 miles of autonomy on a single charge + tank.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The American truck brand is putting its latest $100 million raise to good use<\/a>, developing a cost-competitive EREV chassis that marries a low-emissions 1.4L inline four-cylinder gas engine with a close coupled 800V generator sending power to a 140 or 175 kW battery for up to 500 miles of fully loaded range. More than enough, in other words, to meet the needs of just about any fleet you can think of.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a good thing, too,\u00a0because medium-duty trucks are put to work in just about any circumstance you can think of, as well \u2013\u00a0a fact that\u2019s not lost on Harbinger.<\/p>\n

\u201cMedium-duty vehicles serve an incredibly diverse range of applications, just like the fleets and operators that rely on them, \u201d explains\u00a0John Harris, Co-founder and CEO, Harbinger. \u201cThere are some fleets whose needs simply can\u2019t be met with a purely electric vehicle<\/a>\u2014and we recognize that. Our hybrid is designed for use cases and routes that go beyond what an all-electric system typically supports. The series hybrid delivers the benefits of an electric drivetrain, along with the added confidence of a range extender when needed.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition an up-front cost that should make it an attractive prospect for fleet buyers<\/a>, the new Harbinger EREV pack performance that should made it attractive for its drivers, too. The new chassis\u2019 electric powertrain delivers 440 hp and 1,140 lb-ft of tq for quick acceleration into traffic and smooth running, even under load. Charging performance is also quick, with the ability to get the big battery from 10-80% charge in just under an hour on a 150 kW port.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve heard all this before<\/h2>\n\n

If that sounds familiar, that\u2019s because it is. This medium-duty chassis was first shown last year, making its debut under a Thor Class A motorhome concept that we covered in September<\/a>. That vehicle promised the same great EREV range and capability to a market that values independence and spontaneity more than most, and bringing those values to a medium-duty commercial market that\u2019s lapping up \u201cmessy middle\u201d propaganda from Shell<\/s> NACFE is just smart business.<\/p>\n

The new Harbinger chassis\u2019 batteries are manufactured by Panasonic. No word on who is making the 1.4L ICE generator, but my money\u2019s on the GM SGE four-cylinder last seen in the gas-powered Chevy Spark. You guys are smart, though \u2013\u00a0if you have a better guess who the supplier might be, let us know in the comments.<\/p>\n
