ARI 901 XL electric transporter without B-pillar for easier access & more loading space
With the new ARI 901 XL, ARI Motors is launching an all-electric mid-size panel van that is perfectly tailored to the requirements of modern couriers, trade businesses and service providers. The all-electric van not only impresses with its environmentally friendly drive technology, but also with its innovative design, which offers maximum usability in a compact form.
Fully electric panel van without compromise
The ARI 901 XL is based on a vehicle platform specially developed for the electric drive. This means: no conversion of a combustion engine, but a consistently rethought commercial vehicle. The result is an electric delivery van that is not only emission-free, but also sets new standards in terms of accessibility and use of space.
A particular highlight: the lack of a B-pillar on the passenger side. This design decision enables a particularly wide side opening of the load compartment via a large sliding door - ideal for parcel services and tradespeople who have to cope with frequent loading and unloading.
ARI 901 XL Compact dimensions, large capacity
Despite its compact external dimensions, the ARI 901 XL offers impressive performance data:
-
Interior loading length: 2.83 meters (optionally up to 4.10 meters)
-
Load volume: 6.4 m³
-
Payload: up to 1,375 kilograms
-
Towing capacity of 1200 kilograms
The electric van from Chinese manufacturer Hudson Automotive is therefore positioned exactly between a van and a Sprinter - ideal for anyone who needs maximum flexibility and load volume in city traffic.
Future-proof electric drive with a long range
The ARI 901 XL is powered by a 60 kW permanent magnet motor. The lithium iron phosphate battery (41.86 kWh) comes from the renowned manufacturer CATL and enables a range of up to 301 kilometers - with an economical consumption of just 14.9 kWh/100 km. The battery is ready for use again in around 60 minutes via DC fast charging.
Flexibly adaptable - from tradesman's vehicle to e-camper
Thanks to numerous equipment options, the ARI 901 XL can be perfectly adapted to a wide range of applications:
-
Air conditioning

Trailer coupling

Shelving systems

External 230 V socket (up to 1.8 kW power)
