Allied Vehicles has released two new electrically powered vans and people haulers whose purpose is to assist companies to continue to make urban deliveries without adding to the inner city pollution.

The two electrically powered vehicles, the eBipper and the ePartner vans and autos offer emission free transportation that is joined by a practical payload and loading area, which is based on Peugeot models, Bipper, Partner, and Tepee that have already enjoyed success.
All of the eBipper and ePartner vehicles have a driving range of a distance of 65 miles. The payload capacity of the eBipper is 375 kilograms with 2.8 cubit meters of loading space; the ePartner payload capacity is 549 kilograms with a loading space of 3.7 cubit meters.
These new electric vehicles join the ranks of the eExpert and the eBoxer van that have been designed and produced by Allied in Scotland through an alliance with Peugeot.
The vehicles are charged through a domestic power socket or, as is the case with the ePartner, through a dual-mode charger that has the versatility to hook to either a domestic single-phase power supply or a commercial three-phase power supply. The vehicles come with a three year warranty that covers the vehicles and also covers the Axeon batteries as well, Axeon happens to be a Scottish company as well.
After half a million pound investment and 18 months in the development, Allied already has orders for almost 50 of the electric vehicles, as more corporations and government entities are committing to shrinking the size of the carbon footprints that their vehicles leave on the planet.
