Mercedes-Benz is rolling out its first all-electric van, the VLE, on March 10, 2026.
Designed for everything from family trips to VIP shuttles, it seats up to eight and marks a big step in Mercedes's move toward electric vehicles.
The VLE will be built in Spain alongside its classic V-Class vans.
Prototypes managed about 1,100km on 1 charge
The VLE really goes the distance: prototypes managed about 1,100km on one charge with just two quick pit stops from Stuttgart to Rome.
It's based on a new modular platform that will power future models too.
Mercedes also plans a combustion-engine version for those who want more options in the luxury MPV space.
