Testing three electric vans
A van is more than just a means of transport. It is a workshop on wheels, advertises your services and as your constant companion, needs to be a good fit for your business operations. How do you choose the right make and model? We tested three all-electric versions of popular vans available in Belgium. We’ve compared the size, range and utility for you so you can make an informed choice.
Ford E-Transit, a powerhouse for big jobs
Need both space and plenty of payload capacity? The Ford E-Transit is the van for you. The E-Transit is the ideal vehicle for contractors, installers, logistics operations and event companies. It is available in various configurations with different dimensions and payload capacities, so you can find the right version for the volumes and weights you need to transport.
The all-electric drive is quieter on site and more economical in the long term. All without sacrificing the sturdiness for which E-Transit vans have been known for decades.
Kia PV5, a smart urban newcomer
The Kia PV5 was named 2026 International Van of the Year. This compact van is no revamped diesel model. Instead, it was equipped with an all-new electric platform, resulting in an efficiently designed interior, a lower centre of gravity and better weight distribution.
Agility is its greatest strength. The Kia PV5 manoeuvres easily through narrow city streets and is ideal for deliveries, transporting light materials or carrying out technical work at customer sites. And since it’s 100% electric, low-emission zones are no problem.
Citroën Berlingo Electric, familiar, versatile and powerful
The Citroën Berlingo Electric has been a familiar sight on Belgian streets for years. For good reason. It is neither too large nor too small, offers sufficient cargo space for most daily tasks and is far sturdier than its appearance would suggest.
The electric Citroën Berlingo is ideal for trips in and around the city. It is an excellent choice for technicians, small contractors or self-employed individuals who combine their daily commute with the transportation of materials. In short: familar, reliable and now emission-free.
More than just a van
