The new Mercedes-Benz eVito Tourer - The design

" The mobility revolution is already having an ever increasing impact on urban traffic. In order to ensure traffic on the last mile in the future, the purely electric drive in the van segment is the logical consequence: with the eVito in 2018 and the eSprinter in 2019, Mercedes-Benz Vans has a pioneering role in the premium segment for locally emission-free, commercial freight transport adopted in urban space. The driving performance and range of the newly introduced eVito Tourer define a new dimension and meet all requirements: be it as a hotel shuttle, a large-capacity taxi or a vehicle for ride-sharing services. The new Mercedes-Benz eVito Tourer takes on the distinctive look of the Vito with a combustion engine. But under the dynamic front sits the electric drive train (eATS), which drives the front wheels with a peak power of 150 kW. The electric motor, the gearbox with fixed ratio, the cooling system and the power electronics form a compact unit. The energy is stored in a lithium-ion battery in the underbody of the vehicle. Their deep and central arrangement has a positive effect on the driving behavior of the eVito Tourer. The top speeds of 140 km / h as standard and 160 km / h as special equipment ensure rapid progress even away from city traffic. "
