The Iveco Group unveiled a range of electric vehicles at the IAA in Hanover, including the S-eWay Rigid, a heavy-duty battery electric truck with a range of up to 400 km.
The S-eWay ‘Rigid’ was designed from the ground up by IVECO, including the software on board. It has a driving range of up to 400 km and offers rapid charging capabilities that can provide 200 km of additional autonomy in less than 45 minutes.
The new vehicle is equipped with an FPT Industrial electric axle and offers a total capacity of up to 490 kWh, making it optimal for urban and regional missions. This truck widens the heavy-duty electro-mobility offer of the S-eWay line-up, which already includes the articulated version.
Hyundai Motor Company, in partnership with Iveco, debuted the eMoovy, an electric commercial vehicle based on Hyundai’s global eLCV platform. The eMoovy combines Hyundai’s EV chassis-cab-based platform with IVECO’s cargo compartment. It is equipped with Hyundai’s proven power electric system, carried over from Hyundai Motor Group’s largest electric SUV.

The new vehicle also boasts an 800V system for ultra-fast charging, with a maximum range of up to 320 km in WLTP cycle per charge. The charging experience is ultra-fast, taking just 10 minutes to provide additional 100 km of range.
Safety is a key attribute. It includes a smart battery management system (BMS) with large-capacity batteries compared to electric light commercial vehicles in the same class (76.1 kWh).
Sensors detect battery information to prevent malfunctions and maintain a safe condition. This BMS is also used in Hyundai’s acclaimed IONIQ EV lineup and premium Genesis brand.
The eMoovy also offers vehicle-to-load (V2L) functions specialised for multi-purpose vehicles (MPV), 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 cargo bin capacity and improve operator mobility.
The interior design of the eMoovy is based on Hyundai’s flagship MPV model, STARIA, and is equipped with driver convenience features and a spacious driving information display. The vehicle also includes various advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), such as Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Departure Prevention Assist and Parking Distance Warning.
