Nanjing IVECO Motor Company (Naveco), China's leading
light commercial vehicle producer, launched a delivery
ceremony in Nanjing for China's first batch of electric
light commercial vehicles with 10 zero-emission and
zero-pollution electric new energy light commercial
vehicles debuting publicly.
This batch of vehicles will be officially put into
operation as electrical power service vehicles for the
State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC). Moreover, it is
also the first time that China's domestic light
commercial vehicle industry has realized mass production
and commercial use of electric vehicles. This batch of
electric vehicles is powered by renewable, zero-emission
and zero-pollution electricity that is transformed from
diesel fuel.
In addition to enormously environmentally-friendly
advantages, the vehicles feature outstanding
energy-saving performance, with electric consumption of
around 40 kilowatt hours per 100 kilometres. This is
equivalent to only 5 litres of oil consumption per 100
kilometres for an ordinary vehicle.
On a full charge, this kind of vehicle is able to run
for 220 kilometres, and is applicable for sectors such
as electricity, telecommunications, communications,
publicity, and engineering. In addition, the power cell
installed in the vehicle will provide electricity for
various auxiliary and office equipment on the vehicle,
to ensure flexibility and manoeuvrability as well as the
professional capabilities of the vehicle.
Taking advantage of the central government's
preferential policy on new energy vehicle development,
Naveco has increased its input in various fields of
investment, technology and human resources. After nearly
a year of strenuous efforts, it has finally made a
breakthrough in realizing the mass production capacity
of pure electric light commercial vehicles on the
Chinese mainland.
The vehicles delivered this time are China's first batch
of mass-produced pure electric light commercial vehicles
that will be officially put into operation. The SGCC
will successively make a series of procurements of Iveco
electric service vehicles to equip the power sector
throughout China.
In addition, Naveco is developing Expo site special
purpose pure electric vehicles according to the needs of
the Shanghai Expo 2010, to realize the goal of "zero
emissions in the Expo site, and low emissions in the
surrounding areas."
