With an added fuel cell, H2 Panel Van will become the first electric vehicle on its class (4.25 tonne) with 500 km of driving range. This privilege will give great advantage to DHL Express for their all day long deliveries.

The design of the new H2 Panel Van electric vehicle is based on the StreetScooter WORK XL electric delivery vehicle currently using by DHL Parcel. With a maximum payload of over 800 kg, the total weight of the new H2 Panel Van reaches to maximum level 4.25-tonnes.

For the new H2 Panel Van, the electric vehicle manufacturer StreetScooter will collaborate with Ford. StreetScooter received an order of 100 units from DHL for the first stage, and the deliveries of the vehicles will start in 2020. This innovative electric delivery vehicle will not be sold to any other customer except DHL.
