The Volkswagen Commercial Vehicle e-Volution
After more than 40 years of production of the LT1 and LT2, followed by the Crafter in 2 generations with combustion engine, now for the first time a pure electric drive is being used as standard in the Crafter. The high-voltage components and the technologies used for the remaining subassemblies guarantee safe and comfortable mobility. The electric motor boasts a power output of 100 kW and develops a maximum torque of 290 Nm from a standstill. Depending on the vehicle payload and route profile, the range is up to 173 kilometres, powered by a nominal lithium-ion high-voltage battery energy of 35.8 kW. The recuperation, i.e. the braking energy recovery, has been adapted for the e-Crafter with three-phase drive. Under certain circumstances, the three-phase current drive can cause a deceleration when in alternator mode. The power and control electronics for the electric drive supplies the energy generated to the high-voltage battery. With the e-Crafter, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is paving the way for sustainable, future-proof mobility.
