New EVs at the NEC Commercial Vehicle Show 2024 (vans, HGVs, pickups & more)

[@GoGreenAutos]

I made a couple of mistakes in this. I said DFSK wrong. Its DFSK not DFCK. And what I thought was a new look Maxus MIFA9 was a new MIFA7 model.

[@briangriffiths114]

Enjoyed that one, some nice pieces of kit on display.

[@AmerBoyo]

Saw a Maxus minibus on the road near where I work, in Churt, Surrey - a literal breath of fresh air! We need more of such vehicles!

[@Jaw0lf]

Great to see the huge number of commercial options that are now available.

[@GoGreenAutos]

Yes, I would say about 50% of the vehicles at this years show were electric!

[@dcvariousvids8082]

I wonder why Canoo has a UK flag on it. They’re partly funded by Saudi money and the rest is by splitting their shares. They need money and a lot of it, in order to make the vehicle. But they need to make and deliver the vehicle to bank working capital. Anyone see where that is going? They’re based in three different US states, one for design, one for research and one supposedly for manufacture. Their two head honchos met, while working for Faraday Futures. But apparently working for a company, that trod the waters of bankruptcy, while reached for funds of other people’s money. Taught them one thing, namely, if you continue to promise much and making little to nothing of anything. There’s enough suckers out there with money to throw away, that the people at the top, can gather quite a bit money over a few years, so they can start anew with a slightly different named company and the merry-go-round goes round. Both honchos have left and the company’s ownership, has gone through two investment companies, is being investigated by US Securities & Exchange. In 2021 Canoo was supposed to start production in a fourth US state but later pulled the plug. And later announced moving its HQ to a fifth U.S. state. To date, Canoo appears to have deliver just 22 vehicles. In March 2024 Canoo bought Arrival assets, after it had gone but. This seems to be a modern retelling of, The King’s New Clothes. Canoo is sinking so far, it’ll be a submarine soon.

[@GoGreenAutos]

At least one of them was right hand drive too. They're doing the same as Arrival did....too many products and variations without focusing on getting the first model into production.

[@carenthusiastal2687]

Came here for Canoo. *No attention paid to them 😅

[@GoGreenAutos]

Sorry. I changed the thumbnail image as the original one wasn't getting any views. Put the Canoo on the thumbnail and people are watching!

[@SmartMart1658]

Great review - E-deliver 5 looks great

[@GoGreenAutos]

Thanks

[@Madonsteamrailways]

I would certainly consider a Maxus, either as a camper or a pickup truck for which a camper can be added separately.

[@dcvariousvids8082]

The EV80 has a real world summer range of less than 110mi, the T90EV a summer range of perhaps 130mi and the eDeliver3 a summer range of maybe 120mi. And all before you load any weight in them. Efficiency per kWh… that’s an expensive way to travel.

[@andrewgardner7104]

Very well done, editing spot on music good not overpowering Insightful.

[@GoGreenAutos]

Thanks. Good to hear. Slowly mastering this video editing stuff too.

[@alanhowemusic2457]

Great video well edited and presented. Being a lay person regarding HGV and light van products I am seeing however that once a payload is in these vehicles the battery range is greatly reduced, is that correct?

[@GoGreenAutos]

Weight will affect efficiency, but nowhere near as much as most people think and gets reported. I've done a couple of videos on this, see kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJbYkJiiZ56hfc0si=UpcoKfg49k9F_wkN and kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6eXoGB6ftRrh7csi=o_K-2AZ_LQJWJaUy where I've loaded electric vans to almost the maximum payload and the difference was negligible. (6 miles range loss in the Kangoo and 13 miles in the Toyota).

[@hughmarcus1]

The main issue for electric LCVs is reduced payload. The additional weight of the batteries means less cargo can be carried

[@randombitsofreality]

Good coverage!

[@GoGreenAutos]

Thanks. A bit hard to make a video from a load of photos, but I got there!

[@randombitsofreality]

Looks great and professional.

[@jezthomas4402]

Thanks for the coverage, I keep my eye out for any potential small EV vans I could use for a camper; my ENV200 just doesn't have the range and my '87 VW kombi, while very cute, but dirty and expensive to run and maintain. I was hoping Ford would have their new eTransit Custom there but I didn't see it on your video; did you see or hear any sign of it? It was supposed to be here in NZ already but I haven't even heard of it hitting Britain yet. Thanks a bunch.

[@GoGreenAutos]

Yes I think it was at the show, but I missed it off the video as had no photo.

[@R40ECH]

Didn't you want to show the new Ford Transit Custom Electric?!! It was bright blue…..pretty hard to miss 🤷‍♂️

[@Madonsteamrailways]

The vehicle you showed very recently on this video is made in Britain and is one of the fleet used by the Hertfordshire Borough of Broxbourne.

[@GoGreenAutos]

Which vehicle?

[@rickgarland1278]

I didnt think Canoo were coming to Europe ... surprised to see them there. Did they comment at all on that?

[@GoGreenAutos]

No, I didn't get to speak to them as they were too busy. They were probably here to collect the stuff from the Arrival buildings in Banbury!

[@rickgarland1278]

I just messaged Canoo’s support email and they said ‘Rick, I believe it was more of an exploration visit to test the waters. It makes sense, but there haven’t been any announcements on timing. Jon’ So it seems they are hoping to come to the EU market

[@RedBatteryHead]

Renault really should step up the kWh and CCS speed on their vans.

[@davidlumsden2634]

Great to see so many Evs on show, however I still see manufactures making same small battery mistakes, 40/50/60 configuration, you won't be charging to 100% because the last 10% takes ages, you won't be driving below 10% without wearing a nappy, so you now have only 80% available range. Then we have the good old British winter, and you wonder why so many drivers are sending them back!!! And before you say I am against Evs, I think they are amazing but manufacturers need to stop ripping us off and stop thinking we'll spend £30,000+ on something thats just not practical

[@deja00]

0:24 "The vehicles that was clearly generating the most interest were Canoo". - One should think that interest is worth something, huh?

[@Banyan314]

I would have thought emphasising Canoo and help push it's great products should be a priority. Most of the others were just EV versions of the ICE cars. Cheap conversions without any real innovation.

[@GoGreenAutos]

Everything else was available to buy now in the UK. Canoo vehicles aren't.

[@hughmarcus1]

Canoo isn’t likely to be around for long.

[@SustainableGal]

Yeh sorry mate Canoo's days are numbered

[@MaxJames597yompfitness]

most of these companies have gone under - utter shite 200 ton of earth moves to make one electric car

[@alexmckenna1171]

It's time to move on from burning stuff in filthy rattle-soxes..

[@paulbuckingham15]

This is not the channel you are looking for. MAC2@ is the one for you.

[@GoGreenAutos]

and how are metal engines, gearboxes, exhausts, turbos etc etc made then?? An electric future actually results in less mining.

[@MaxJames597yompfitness]

@@GoGreenAutos cobalt and Lithium requires excessive smashing of the earth this metals are not found in a ICE car

[@GoGreenAutos]

@@MaxJames597yompfitness My Tesla uses no cobalt, yet ICE vehicles do constantly as it is used when refining fuel.

[@vernepavreal7296]

Very swish

[@Zkrd1]

Stay away from electric vehicles too much stress all crap
