Jenhoo Company introduced their first electric van in China. Jenhoo has developed this ‘B-Pillarless EV48’ electric van in just 22 months.
Jenhoo, a Chinese start-up introduced in December 2020 with a focus on new energy logistics vehicles. Since its founding, the Jenhoo team has developed two platforms for vans and light trucks.
Prior to its official debut, EV48 was unveiled at MIIT this November. The EV48 has a flat front (box) with a pair of recessed lights, and smooth windscreen lines.
As reported by Drive Wednesday (30/11/2022), from behind, there isn’t much to see with just a pair of checkered rear light units. FYI, the seat belt is at the door. This decision is highly questionable as it can have a drastic impact on protection.
But a Jenhoo rep didn’t say much about the safety of the EV48. The dimensions of the EV48 are 4860/1750/1990 mm with a wheelbase of 3160 mm. As for the cargo area, it is 2827/1641/1381 mm.
The TZ180XS000 electric motor from Inovance Automotive is capable of producing 82hp in addition to giving the electric van a top speed of 100 km/h. For the battery, it uses an LFP battery made by CATL.
According to Jenhoo, EV48 will be launched in the Chinese market in H1 2023. Brand representatives also mentioned that they have started communicating with several logistics companies. During the MIIT announcement, Jiangling Motors Corporation was said to be producing the EV48.
