The XG and XG+ Electric use LFP batteries that are cobalt- and nickel-free, with an eight-year warranty. A three-pack configuration can charge from 10% to 80% in just over 45 minutes. The trucks can cover over 1,000 electric km per day with optimal planning.

  • XD Electric: urban and regional distribution
