In like Flynt: Dutch start up launching electric vans in UK


Based on a purpose-built platform from GAC Group Automotive in China, start up van company Flynt is preparing to roll out a new 3.5t electric van. The van will launch in26 territories including the UK in 2026.

The new van uses an adaptable EV platform to suit left and right-hand-drive markets and has a "digital-first" driver experience.

The battery-powered model will follow Farizon into the market as an EV and LCV-only manufacturer. The van uses a 100kWh battery with efficiency of 20kWh/100km (3.1m/kWh) and an 800V system that enables charging at 22kW AC, with 220kW DC fast charging giving a 30-80% charge in 20 minutes.

It also features vehicle-to-grid and vehicle-to-load functionality, with a range of 500km (310 miles).

It will feature a payload of up to 1630kg and cargo volume between 8.7 and 16.5 cubic metres, depending on body style. Flynt says it is collaborating with established Chinese automotive companies in a move to create a "next-generation, asset-light OEM" that "represents the rollout of an entirely new, customer-driven business model built for the electric age."
