Launched officially on 16 April 2025, Mercedes-Benz’s trio of battery-electric commercial vehicles is a seismic shift in how we think about vans.

All three now combine zero tailpipe emissions with that polished Mercedes-Benz engineering the brand has become known for.

The eCitan is as nimble as it is quiet, perfect for navigating tight alleyways or heartland HDB blocks, with a practical payload and an electric range that ensures you don’t need to keep checking the battery percentage like it’s your bank account balance at the end of the month.

The eVito retains all the practicality of its ICE sibling but swaps diesel grumble for a refined silence. Range anxiety is hardly a concern, especially with Singapore’s growing fast-charging infrastructure. You’ll spend more time loading parcels than waiting at a charger.

Finally, the eSprinter is the heavyweight champ, offering cavernous cargo space, modular conversions, and enough electric range to ferry across town and back without breaking a sweat.

Each model supports fast DC charging, with flexible configurations tailored to meet industry-specific demands. 

With built-in telematics, fleet managers can monitor vehicle health, optimise routes, and manage charging cycles from a dashboard.

Safety, too, is baked into the formula. Expect driver assistance systems such as active brake assist, lane-keeping support, and blind spot monitoring. 

“Our newly expanded line-up of fully electric commercial vehicles demonstrates Mercedes-Benz’s commitment to accelerating electric mobility in Singapore,” said Marcel Luis Mustelier Perez, President and CEO of Mercedes-Benz Singapore.

From taxis and buses to last-mile cargo vans, the country is laying the groundwork for a cleaner, quieter urban landscape. And with Mercedes-Benz now staking its claim in the electric commercial segment, the future is no longer some vague promise on the horizon.

Built on China’s pioneering MILA (Modular, Intelligent, Lightweight, Architecture) platform, the Maxus eDeliver 5 is on par specs-wise with some of the best electric commercial vehicles on the market.

Equipped with a 64 kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate battery, the eDeliver 5 boasts a class-leading WLTP-City range of up to 489 kilometres. This capability addresses the persistent challenge of range anxiety, making it a dependable option for businesses with extensive delivery requirements.

The electric motor delivers 120 kW (160 bhp) and 240 Nm of torque, enabling the vehicle to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 10.7 seconds.

In addition to its impressive range, the Maxus eDeliver 5 supports both AC and DC charging at 11 kW and 70 kW, respectively. With DC fast charging, businesses can recharge the battery from 20% to 80% in just 36 minutes.

The vehicle also comes with a robust 8-year or 200,000-kilometre battery warranty, offering peace of mind for fleet operators.

Slotting between the eDeliver 3 and eDeliver 7 in the Maxus lineup, the eDeliver 5 has a balance between generous cargo capacity and compact exterior dimensions. It features a class-leading 6,600-litre cargo space and a maximum payload of 1,270 kg.

Practicality is a key highlight, with features like an ultra-low cargo floor height of 532 mm, wide pallet-friendly wheel-arch spacing, and accessible double sliding side doors.

Secure cargo management is further enhanced with binding rings and 60:40 split rear doors with 180-degree hinges.

At just 1,960 mm in height and with an unladen weight of 1,780 kg, the vehicle is compatible with HDB car parks and loading bays.

The eDeliver 5 comes equipped with 12 advanced safety features, including Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning, and a 360˚ Surround View Camera.

For drivers, comfort is not overlooked, as the vehicle offers seating for three adults, a ventilated driver’s seat, and a 12.3-inch infotainment screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Cycle & Carriage Singapore recently unveiled the updated ë-Berlingo, showcasing its advancements over its predecessor, which first turned heads in 2022.

This latest iteration of Citroën’s popular electric light commercial vehicle (e-LCV) boasts a 3,900-litre cargo capacity, a 100-litre improvement over the previous model. The redesign, featuring slimmer interior wheel arches and a low cargo floor height of 160mm, makes loading and unloading easy.

The widened space between the arches ensures practicality for diverse business needs, further enhanced by a robust payload capacity of 751kg.

The Extenso system, with its modular folding passenger bench seat, allows businesses to optimise space for passengers or cargo.

This includes extending the load length to accommodate items up to 3,440mm and transforming the central seatback into a writing table for mobile office functionality.

The ë-Berlingo now boasts a 50 kWh battery, delivering a range of 354km (up to 492km under WLTP City conditions). This is a significant jump from its predecessor’s 293km range. Leveraging lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry, the battery is built for longevity and frequent full charges.

Charging is equally versatile: a wallbox charger can fully replenish the battery in 7.5 hours with a 7.4 kW charge point, while a 100 kW DC fast charger can take it from 0 to 80% in just 30 minutes.

Its 136bhp motor delivers an energy consumption rate of 17.3 kWh/100km, making the ë-Berlingo a frontrunner for businesses keen on reducing their carbon footprint without compromising performance.

Inside, seats with denser foam and improved back support ensure a plush ride, while a six-way adjustable driver’s seat offers ergonomic comfort for long hours on the road. The refreshed cabin features a fully digital dashboard, a multifunction steering wheel, and a 10-inch HD infotainment screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Externally, the vehicle proudly debuts Citroën’s refreshed oval logo on its updated grille, blending modern design with its trademark practicality.

Dawn Pan, Chief Operating Officer of Multi-Franchise Operations at Cycle & Carriage, encapsulated the launch’s significance: “We are excited to bring the latest ë-Berlingo to the market, offering our customers an efficient, versatile, and comfortable electric vehicle that meets the evolving demands of urban logistics.”

Priced competitively at $57,999 (without COE), the Citroën ë-Berlingo is available for viewing and test drives at the Cycle & Carriage Electric Commercial Vehicle Hub. Businesses can purchase outright or explore flexible leasing options.
