Changan Kearing is set to launch its V919 Glory Edition, an 8 cubic meter cargo van, on October 13th. This new model boasts a range of impressive features, including standard Ningde Times battery cells across all trims. The van offers a CLTC operating range of 355 kilometers and supports 2C fast charging, capable of replenishing the battery from 30% to 80% in just 15 minutes.
Designed for Efficiency and Cargo Capacity
The V919 Glory Edition is engineered with practicality in mind for logistics and transport businesses. It features a wide cargo box, measuring 1.74 meters, which allows for standard turnover boxes to be arranged in a 4-box configuration without needing to stagger them, thus minimizing wasted space. The cargo length extends to 3.38 meters, meeting the large surface area certification standards for freight platforms, and can easily accommodate materials like 3.3-meter pipes or boards.
Safety and Performance Features
Safety is a key consideration for the new Changan Kearing model. It is equipped with a body-on-frame chassis that features ten longitudinal beams and five transverse beams, paired with a cage-type high-strength body structure for enhanced rigidity and safety. In emergency braking situations, the van maintains a stopping distance of 21.53 meters when fully loaded and traveling at 70 km/h. For added driver confidence and security, the vehicle comes standard with a body stability system and hill-start assist across all configurations.
Powertrain and Charging
Powering the V919 Glory Edition is an electric powertrain, emphasizing efficiency and reduced emissions. The integration of Ningde Times battery cells underscores the commitment to using high-quality and reliable battery technology. The 355km CLTC range is competitive for urban and regional logistics, while the 2C fast charging capability significantly reduces downtime, a critical factor for commercial operations. The ability to charge from 30% to 80% in only 15 minutes means drivers can maximize their operational hours with minimal interruption.
The launch of the Changan Kearing V919 Glory Edition is expected to appeal to businesses looking for a blend of cargo capacity, charging speed, and safety features in their light commercial vehicle fleet. The focus on practical cargo solutions and efficient electric performance positions it as a notable contender in the evolving market for commercial electric vans.
