The Arrival Van also features touches for comfort including heated seating, independent front and rear suspension, and a 15.6” touch-screen interface that communicates the data being collected from the vehicle directly to the driver. Safety features and upgrades include digital e-mirrors, a 360-degree surround view, Advanced Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Monitoring, and more.

“We believe that the rapid growth of e-commerce has led to a much higher demand for light commercial transport in cities, increasing both congestion and air pollution.” said Avinash Ruguboor, president and chief strategy officer of Arrival. “We are in the midst of an important market transition as more and more fleet managers adopt cleaner and more sustainable methods and cities adopt stricter air quality measures, we are looking to accelerate that transition with a best-in-class solution that has clear benefits, at a purchase price and TCO that makes the transition the best possible commercial decision too.”

Full production on the Arrival Van is planned to begin in Q3 of 2022.
