Which electric van models can you fit out for passenger transport?

We currently fit out electric vans including the Ford E-Transit, the LDV electric van range, and the Kia PV5 for passenger and mobility use, with more models joining as electric uptake grows across New Zealand’s passenger fleets. Every fitout is designed around that specific van’s battery position and structure, so if you’re running or considering a different electric model, get in touch and we’ll scope what’s possible.

How does battery placement affect the seating layout in an electric van fitout?

The battery pack takes up floor and undercarriage space that simply isn’t there in a diesel van, so we design the internal layout around it from the start rather than adapting a standard layout afterwards. For our passenger and mobility fitouts, we’ve developed a floor system that secures seating without needing to screw into the floor, which works well around battery placement. Step and mobility equipment positions are planned the same way, with the battery’s location factored in from the outset.

Can electric vans be fitted out for wheelchair accessibility?

Yes — we offer mobility vehicle solutions for electric vans, with the same attention to battery placement applied to accessibility features. Steps and mobility equipment are positioned with the battery’s location in mind, so accessibility doesn’t come at the cost of safety or usable space.

The necessity for the internal layout to work around battery placement means that specific solutions are needed for electric vans. For our passenger and mobility vehicles we have developed a floor system that enables seating to be secured without the need to screw into the floor. Plus, placement of steps and mobility equipment are planned with the battery in mind. With an electric van, weight is crucial.
