2023 LDV eDeliver 9 price and specs: Deliveries go electric in Australia

LDV has detailed pricing and specifications for the eDeliver 9, Australia’s first pure-electric large commercial van.

The LDV eDeliver 9 is priced from $99,990 before on-road costs (private buyers) for the cab chassis body style, while it costs $116,537 for the Mid Roof van and $118,836 for the High Roof van – both of which are exclusively sold in long wheelbase (LWB) form.

Given its six-figure sticker price, it's ineligible for most select government EV incentives, but the fringe benefits tax (FBT) exemption for novated leases applies.

The electric large van is aimed at fleets and sole traders with the Cab Chassis offering a claimed 150km of range (WLTP) from its 65kWh battery pack. The LWB Mid Roof and High Roof offer 280km and 275km of claimed range (WLTP) respectively from a larger 88.55kWh lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery shared with the LDV eT60 dual-cab electric ute.

It boasts the same cargo capacity as the related combustion-powered Deliver 9, with 10.97 cubic metres for the Mid Roof or 12.33 cubic metres for the High Roof.

Unlike the eT60 electric ute, the Deliver 9 can tow more at 1500kg braked on LWB variants (1200kg on Cab Chassis) or 750kg unbraked. Payload is rated at 1410kg for the Mid Roof and 1350kg for the High Roof.

The van’s cargo area features eight tie-down points, a sliding door on the kerb side, and 236-degree opening rear barn doors.

Using a single front-wheel drive electric motor, all models produce 150kW of power and 310Nm of torque with an energy consumption figure of 339 to 345Wh/km for the LWB van’s.

The eDeliver 9 is capable of charging at 11kW AC or 80kW DC speeds.

It also brings some active safety assistance technologies like auto emergency braking, lane departure warning, and adaptive cruise control – which aren’t found in the eT60 ute.

It is set to be rivalled by the Ford E-Transit and Mercedes-Benz eSprinter arriving to Australia in the coming years as zero emission ‘last mile’ delivery vans.
