Mercedes-Benz is about to launch the eCitan, the long-awaited electric version of the manufacturer’s small van. With the eCitan, Mercedes intends to complete the range of electric light commercial vehicles available. As for the ICE model, the latest version was officially launched in September 2021, then it became quite popular with customers.
According to Mercedes-Benz, the fully electric version, the eCitan, offers all the advantages of the conventionally powered small van. Compact exterior dimensions with a large amount of space, as well as a high load capacity, open up a wide range of possible uses in inner-city distribution, service and shuttle operations.
