Flynt, a Dutch startup focused on electrifying the light commercial vehicle segment, has revealed its first product — a fully electric van designed specifically for European cities and logistics.
Scheduled for a 2026 market debut, the van is intended for fleet operators and last-mile delivery services, boasting an estimated range of up to 500 kilometres on a single charge and promising reduced total cost of ownership through high energy efficiency, minimal maintenance, and downtime.

The van, currently referred to as the eLCV, features an 800-volt system and a 100 kWh NCM battery. It offers fast charging capability at up to 220 kW DC, allowing a 30–80% charge in approximately 20 minutes.
Additional features include bidirectional charging (V2G and V2L), up to 1,630 kg payload capacity, a 16.5 m³ loading volume, and a digital cockpit with a 12.8-inch main display and integrated mobile workstation. Level 2 advanced driver-assistance systems come standard, while the vehicle architecture is ready for Level 4 autonomy.

Rather than manufacturing in-house, Flynt is employing an asset-light strategy, outsourcing production to MiracoMotor, a subsidiary of China’s GAC Group. The startup emphasizes customer-driven design and has co-developed the vehicle in collaboration with European fleet operators over 18 months.
The prototype was previewed in China in early 2025 and is expected to enter pilot testing in Europe this summer. Initial sales will begin in Germany and Norway before expanding across 26 European markets.

Flynt enters a competitive market as established players like Mercedes-Benz, Iveco, and Ford already offer electric vans, and new entrants such as Flexis — a joint effort by Renault, Volvo Group, and CMA CGM — are preparing for launch around the same time.
