SAIC Motor’s Maxus brand plans to introduce the eDeliver 75, a fully electric truck with a gross vehicle weight of 7.5 tonnes, to the British market, with sales and deliveries expected to begin in October.
The eDeliver 75 is equipped with a 120 kWh LFP battery, offering a WLTP range of 155 miles. The battery can be charged from 20 to 80 percent in around 30 minutes using a 120 kW fast charger. Standard features include vehicle-to-load (V2L) capability, a five-year vehicle warranty, and an eight-year battery warranty.
The electric truck can carry a payload of up to 4,590 kg and will be available with two chassis lengths of 3.8 metres and 4.5 metres. All models comply with GSR II safety regulations and include advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), such as lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, and driver fatigue monitoring.
“The specification and technology are adapted to market, customer, driver and operational needs,” said Ross Davies, Maxus UK Sales Director. “This has created an agile, versatile, safe, comfortable truck for any mid-to-final-mile distribution and delivery demands. Our new eDeliver 75 also features an optimised chassis design for bodybuilder integration, ensuring compatibility with specialist applications across multiple sectors.”
The eDeliver 75 marks Maxus’ first full-size electric truck, expanding beyond its electric transporter lineup. The company has previously tested bidirectional charging in its eDeliver 5 and eDeliver 7 vans and plans to extend the technology to other vehicles.
Brian Patterson, Managing Director of Maxus distributor Harris Group, added: “With class-leading range, rapid-charge capability and outstanding payload efficiency, the eDeliver 75 redefines what operators can expect from an electric 7.5-tonner. We’re offering a technologically advanced solution that supports fleets through every mile of their net-zero journey. And it’s all backed by our nationwide dealer network, proven after-sales infrastructure and a price point that challenges the competition. Maxus is not merely entering the race, we’re jumping into the lead.”
Harris Group, based in Ireland, distributes Maxus vehicles alongside brands including Hino, Isuzu, and Higer, and is one of the country’s longest-established commercial vehicle import and assembly companies.
