Mercedes-Benz unveils luxury electric van lineup for cargo, passengers, and campers.

Mercedes-Benz has announced a new modular platform called VAN.EA that will underpin the automaker’s new lineup of commercial and personally owned electric vans, including luxury camper vans for personal ownership. The company is targeting an EV share of up to 20 percent by 2026 and more than 50 percent by 2030. The new platform is designed to be flexible and scalable, allowing for both front- and all-wheel drive vehicles. Mercedes is hoping to capitalize on its growing market share in the US for van sales, which climbed from 8 percent in 2018 to 16 percent in 2022.
