It surely won’t take long for livery services and the like to fill their fleets with these vans, meaning we should expect to see them in the perpetually congested pickup/dropoff lanes at LAX in short order. Mercedes believes there is growth opportunity with the V-Class, and they’re probably correct. Specifics on the VAN.EA

Fleets don’t want to go electric at scale until they’ve done years-long pilots, but the Advanced Clean Trucks regulation will artificially constrict that timeframe. Lots of fleets will be placing orders for heavy-duty EVs over the next few years. Soon they won’t have a choice. Well, that phase of the transition is over.

Electrifying commercial vehicles is a critical part of reducing emissions, so it’s frustrating that the pace of fleet electrification has been so slow. Viable commercial EVs have been around for years, but fleet operators insisted on conducting years-long pilots to prove their reliability. Is it all designed and planned out?
