The smallest-ever chassis cab from Iveco has made its debut at the IAA Transportation Show in Hannover, developed in conjunction with Hyundai.

The eMoovy, which will also be offered as a panel van, was shown at the event in chassis cab format with a tipper body, but will be offered with a range of approved conversion options when it makes its showroom debut in 2025.

The eMoovy is an electric-only model, and combines Hyundai’s EV chassis-cab-based platform with Iveco’s cargo compartment. It uses the Hyundai electric system, carried over from Hyundai Motor Group’s largest electric SUV, the Staria, which is not currently sold in Europe.

The new vehicle also has an 800V system for ultra-fast charging, with a maximum range of up to 198miles (WLPT). The ultra-fast charging experience takes just 10 minutes to provide an additional 60 miles of range.

It includes a smart battery management system (BMS) with large-capacity 76kWh batteries. Sensors detect battery information to prevent malfunctions and maintain a safe condition. This BMS is also utilized in Hyundai’s acclaimed IONIQ EV lineup and premium Genesis brand.

The eMoovy also offers vehicle-to-load (V2L) functions specialized for multi-purpose vehicles, providing electric power both inside and outside the vehicle for enhanced convenience.

The low-profile design is ideal for logistics and delivery operators, with low ground clearance to maximise the body capacity and allow a range of conversion options favoured by Iveco’s core customers.

The interior design of the eMoovy is based on the Hyundai Staria MPV, and is equipped with driver convenience features including Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Departure Prevention Assist and Parking Distance Warning.

Further details around the model’s launch across European markets will be revealed in early 2025.

What's the best van for towing?

I have a Hyundai i800 but it has an issue where the clutch seems to overheat and stop working which means you have to stop for about 30 minutes which is not ideal. I carry a fair bit of disco equipment and screens around, so I need a van or large-capacity estate vehicle. It would be nice if it had an excellent MPG.

You need to determine what size of van you need based on the size and weight of the equipment you need to carry, as a medium van will generally offer better fuel consumption than a large van, so you should choose the smallest van to suit your requirements. For medium vans you should look at options like the Ford Transit Custom or the Volkswagen Transporter, which can tow up to 2800kg and 2500kg respectively depending on the specification. If you need a large van, options like the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Volkswagen Crafter and Ford Transit offer up to 3500kg of towing capacity.
