Electrify has introduced an entirely electric minibus boasting an impressive 300 km WLTP range, built on the Mercedes-Benz eSprinter platform.

Two major upgrades have been carried out to the original eSprinter platform. A custom 110 kWh battery pack has been fitted in the footprint of the OEM battery, increasing the autonomy on a single charge to 300 km. A reinforced rear axle increases the gross mass to 5300 kg and allows accommodating up to 20 passengers.

Electrify has developed this minibus in collaboration with Drive eO (www.driveeo.com) who has extensive experience in vehicle electrification.

The upgraded battery back is manufactured using LG NMC modules which offer better energy density compared to the OEM solution. The remaining electric powertrain systems are carried over from the eSprinter base vehicle which overs several advantages over diesel minibus retrofits that exist on the market. Electrify minibus can be serviced throughout the extensive Mercedes-Benz service network and long-term availability of powertrain spare parts is guaranteed. The customers are also going to enjoy the complete range of eSprinter systems, including the Electronic Stability Program and battery thermal management.

The company is currently working on H2 solutions, with plans to equip minibuses with electricity generators that can be powered by environmentally friendly fuels such as H2, bioethanol, or eAmmonia in the future.
