UK start up launches £15k electric van
A new UK-built electric van range is targeting the lower-cost end of the market, with the Electric Van Company (EVC) launching its CitySprint as a lightweight solution for urban delivery work.
Designed for fleet operators, the CitySprint combines reliability, agility, and efficiency in a compact package that sets a new benchmark for last‑mile logistics.

The CitySprint, which is made in Lancashire, is powered by a Permanent Magnet synchronous motor paired with a 23.04kWh LFP battery, offering up to 120 miles of range and a top speed of 46mph – perfect for dense city streets.
Its rear‑wheel drive, 5.5m turning radius and compact footprint ensure effortless manoeuvring, while a 500kg payload and 1,450kg GVW make it genuinely practical for everyday deliveries. S
tandard features include LED lighting, air conditioning, central locking, a 9-inch control screen with USB connectivity, and factory‑fitted Geotab telematics for live fleet tracking. With multiple UK-built body options and a robust warranty, the CitySprint arrives ready to transform urban logistics.

Logistics UK’s Senior Policy Manager Stephanie Haszczyn said: “Expanding electric vehicle offerings which have lower upfront costs, and varying range, payload and manoeuvrability can play a vital role in accelerating adoption as each business has different vehicle needs.
“It’s encouraging to see UK innovation focused on removing some of the barriers and increasing options for members who are looking to electrify their fleets.”
