Morris Commercial unveils electric JE Van at Design Museum in London
Morris Commercial has reportedly revealed 2.5-tonne electric JE Van at the Design Museum in London. The Worcestershire-based manufacturer says the van will have a 60kWh lithium-ion battery of a range of around 200 miles and 1-tonne payload.
Inspired by the original 1948 Morris J-Type van, the new JE, to be produced in the United Kingdom, will feature a similar design to its spiritual predecessor. The production version will be made out of carbon fibre.
The battery to be used in the van will be sourced from the UK too. The battery will give the van 90kW of power and can be restored to 80 per cent after a 30 minute fast charge.
The company’s founder and CEO Dr Ou Li stated that the reason behind wanting carbon fibre was to make the vehicle “light and spacious”.
Buyers of the JE van can expect a 2.4m long 5.5m3 loading bay capable of holding two euro pallets, and a price tag of £60,000 when it goes on sale in 2021.
“It is a delight to unveil the new Morris JE to the world and for us to show what we have been working so hard to achieve,” Li concluded.
