The all-new Vauxhall Vivaro-e has quickly become the UK’s bestselling electric van in the first 6 months of 2022 according to the latest new car and van registration figures published by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders. A total of 2,649 models have been sold in the first half of 2022 outperforming every other e-LCV in the market. Vauxhall’s LCV market share has also grown significantly from 9.8% to 10.7% compared to last year.
Many are concerned with a move to electric, especially with their workhorse such as a van. But the new Vivaro-e comes with a very reassuring WLTP range of 205 miles and a maximum payload of up to 1,226kg. Even more impressively, Vauxhall has become one of the few manufacturers who can offer their entire fleet of vans as a fully electrified alternative made up of the Vauxhall Combo-e, Vivaro-e and Movano-e models.
The new Vivaro-e has also seen many awards come its way since its release including ‘Medium Van of the Year’ at the What Van? Awards 2022 and ‘Best Medium Electric Van’ at the Driving Electric Awards 2022. The Vivaro-e was also voted ‘International Van of the Year 2021’.
Paul Willcox, Managing Director, Vauxhall, said: “The Vivaro-e remains the go-to choice for fleets and businesses after an efficient and capable zero-emissions-in-use van. The e-LCV sector is growing each month, and it is fantastic to see so many businesses and fleets choose the Vivaro-e when deciding to go electric.”
