The electric commercial vehicle is powered by a liquid-cooled Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery pack. It delivers a real-world driving range of over 170 km on a single charge, supporting intensive daily operations for logistics operators.

The EVIATOR also supports CCS2 DC fast charging technology, enabling the battery to charge up to 80% in nearly 60 minutes. The vehicle has a top speed of 80 kmph, which makes it suitable for time-sensitive delivery operations.

Company Leadership Highlights Market Confidence
