Equipped with a large cargo capacity, the BYD E-VALI is a practical choice for transportation and delivery services.
The BYD E-VALI Combines Minimalistic Elegance and Quality Craftsmanship
BYD‘s new light commercial vehicle (LCV), the E-VALI, is making its global debut at the IAA Transportation 2024. Designed specifically for the European market, and especially well-suited to meet the needs of last-mile and parcel delivery services, the BYD E-VALI (3.5t or 4.25t) brings innovation in EV technologies to the LCV sector.
“With its new era aesthetics, the BYD E-VALI is a stylish asset to transitioning eco-friendly van fleets, in a refined high-tech vehicle that has been optimized for driver safety and comfort too,” BYD wrote in an official statement.
“Additionally, its large volume cargo capacity and impressive energy efficiency make it a practical choice for transportation and delivery services, as well as tradespeople who commonly use LCVs for their line of work. Its size and agility make it the perfect solution for urban deliveries, especially in areas designated as ultra-low emission zones,” it added.
Embracing the new design language for BYD‘s light commercial vehicles, the E-VALI brings a “high-tech style” to the LCV market. From the side, the flowing silhouette and linear panels accentuate the sturdy body evoking power and strength. The futuristic front face with distinctive LED headlights exudes purpose and personality.
“Overall, the BYD E-VALI combines minimalistic elegance and quality craftsmanship, with advanced technology and new-era intelligence,” stated BYD.
Extra-Large Cargo Capacity
The BYD E-VALI stands out also for its extra-large cargo volume capacity, up to 17.9m3 for a 4.25t model, with an equally large payload of 1450kg (depending on size variant) optimizing productivity for busy delivery fleets. Additionally, there is the convenience of a sliding side door for loading and unloading, with wide-opening hinged rear doors, as well as folding seats to maximize space.
There is sufficient height for the driver to stand upright to enter the van without the need for bending, further alleviating the physical strain of loading and unloading cargo. A bulkhead door separates the driver and passenger cabin from the main cargo area for enhanced safety and comfort.
Comfortable, Technology-rich Interior
The BYD E-VALI‘s cabin is enhanced by a modern instrument panel and large touchscreen. This creates a focal point of the interior, forming a control hub for infotainment and BYD intelligent 4G connected experiences including Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto with Over The Air (OTA) updates as part of the iCloud service, with the benefit of voice recognition.
The touchscreen can be viewed in ‘split screen’ mode so the driver can focus on driving, while passengers can still enjoy their preferred infotainment. There is also the accompanying BYD App which provides a host of features and remote functionality for monitoring vehicle status.
The dashboard is designed to ensure that controls are within easy reach. The console integrates various functions such as mobile phone wireless charging and gear shift lever, saving a lot of space in the vehicle.
Electrically adjustable seats are a standard feature and have been designed to reduce wrapping to make it easier for drivers, such as couriers, to get in and out of the van. There is also a standard multifunction steering wheel.
Ensuring comfort for the driver and passengers, the BYD E-VALI features a handy foldable table neatly concealed with the centre console, an in-car refrigerator/cool box, cup holders and an abundance of useful storage boxes and pockets, as well as various USB ports for wireless charging.
Comprehensive Driver Assistance
The BYD E-VALI offers comprehensive ADAS as a standard, to make driving safer and more pleasurable, such as Adaptive Cruise Control & Intelligent Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Assist, Blind Spot Detection, Comfort Stop, Rollover Control System, Hill Decent Control, Indirect Driver Fatigue Management, and Hill Hold Control.
BYD Blade Battery
The BYD E-VALI is equipped with the latest BYD Blade Battery technology which surpasses the rigorous Nail Penetration Test, demonstrating elevated safety performance, durability and efficiency, together with a longer range and extended lifecycle.
The cobalt-free 80.64 kWh Blade Battery uses Lithium Iron-Phosphate (LFP) as its cathode material, which offers a much higher level of safety than lithium-ion batteries. LFP has inherently excellent thermal stability. The Blade Battery, while being ultra-safe and durable, can deliver high power density with the benefit of ultra-low energy consumption.
Innovation extends to the high-efficiency 6-in-1 electric powertrain. Such innovation developed by BYD integrates the Motor Controller Unit, the Drive Motor, the Gearbox, the Battery Management System, the Vehicle Control Unit, and the Power Distribution Unit in one simple module for ease of maintenance, maximizes cargo space, and minimizes cargo ground clearance.
An advanced energy-saving heat pump is a standard feature too, further enhancing thermal management and performance in all climatic conditions.
The BYD E-VALI offers a reassuring range of 220-250km (WLTP) and can be fast charged from 10-80% in around 30 minutes. It is also equipped with VTOL so external devices can easily be charged by the vehicle battery.
