Suzuki Motor Corporation has launched its all-new mini-commercial battery electric vehicle (BEV) van ‘e EVERY’ in Japan, marking a significant step in the company’s expansion in the electric commercial vehicle segment.
The e EVERY has been jointly developed by Suzuki Motor Corporation, Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd., and Toyota Motor Corporation. The electric van is designed to deliver quiet and powerful EV performance while maintaining the practicality of a compact commercial vehicle for daily business operations.
The vehicle is powered by a 36.6 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery that offers a driving range of up to 257 km on a single charge, based on the Worldwide-harmonized Light vehicles Test Cycle (WLTC). Suzuki said the range is suitable for everyday commercial use, particularly for urban logistics and local businesses.
The e EVERY features an integrated eAxle system, combining the motor, inverter, and transaxle to provide strong torque that exceeds that of a turbocharged mini vehicle. The battery is mounted under the floor, lowering the vehicle’s centre of gravity and improving ride stability and comfort.
Designed for practicality, the electric van offers a spacious cargo area with a maximum load capacity of 350 kg. Inside the cabin, it features a 7-inch TFT colour LCD display, along with multiple storage options including an overhead shelf and a centre console tray to improve convenience during work operations.
Safety features include the “Smart Assist” preventive safety system, along with Adaptive Driving Beam (ADB), side-view lamps, and LED headlamps to enhance visibility and safety during night driving. The van can also be equipped with a digital rearview mirror to improve rear visibility when carrying cargo.
Another notable feature is the vehicle’s vehicle-to-load capability, allowing it to supply electricity during emergencies such as power outages, making it useful for local communities during disasters.
The e EVERY will be offered in two variants – a two-seater and a four-seater – and will be available in three body colours, with the two-seater version offered in two colour options.
The model will be supplied on an OEM basis by Daihatsu, reflecting the ongoing collaboration among Japanese automakers to accelerate electric vehicle development and expand electrified mobility solutions.
