“As we continue with our European growth strategy, Spain is a key market for LEVC and this is strengthened further by the government’s clear e-mobility direction and ev incentives. I am pleased to partner with Ronda 15 in Barcelona, an appointment which will allow commercial vehicle operators in one of the country’s largest cities to discover our new models and make the switch to electric.”

Joerg Hofmann, LEVC CEO, commented:

Operating in the one-tonne sector, VN5 shares the same bold, distinctive design and lightweight aluminium construction as TX, as well as its innovative eCity electric technology.

Martin Rada, Managing Director for EU operations said:

Customers in Spain can take advantage of a number of government subsidies intended to improve the uptake of electric vehicles. The MOVES incentive was subject to a government-funded injection up to €800 million to make electric vehicles cheaper for both private motorists and business. As a result of the MOVES scheme, buyers can receive up to €9,000 off the purchase price of a new electric van.
