Electrifying new Kombi camper coming
Cute low-cost battery-powered van to be available in 10 different body stylesGerman EV start-up, eBussy, has announced it will launch a new range of affordable electric vans, pick-ups and kombis in 2021.
Created to sit on a dedicated modular platform developed for small pure-electric vehicles, the eBussy will be offered as a regular minivan, delivery van, tipper truck, pick-up, chassis cab and campervan, to name just few of the 10 possible body styles.
Better still for our market, the new underpinnings are so flexible, to convert to right-hand drive takes a matter of seconds as it involves sliding the steering wheel from one side of the vehicle to another.
This also allows the option for a central, McLaren F1-style, driving position.
The flexible driving position is possible thanks to the tiller having no physical connection to the wheels, with a steer-by-wire system used.
As standard, the cute zero-emission eBussy comes equipped with a small 10kWh that, thanks to a lithe 450kg kerbweight, provides for a range of up to 200km.
Need more range and a larger 30kWh battery is available that stretches the distance between charges to a very respectable 600km.
Driving the wheels meanwhile is a small in-hub electric motor that produces just 15kW – but that weak-sounding peak power is combined with a thumping 1000Nm of torque.
Helping stretch its charge, each eBussy body style comes with solar panels packaged within the roof. As part of the small vans powertrain an efficient brake energy recovery system has also been incorporated.
