So the EV48 is a pretty big delivery van. The TZ180XS000 electric motor from Inovance Automotive for 60 kW (82 hp) powers the EV48. It gives this electric van the top speed of 100 km/h. As for the battery, it is LFP made by CATL. According to the MIIT announcement, Jiangling Motors Corporation will produce the EV48.

Recently, Jenhoo held a conference, unveiling some details on the EV48. They’ve shared that they have developed it for 22 months in a row. It appeared that this van has a single sliding back door without a B-pillar. Worth mentioning that its seat belt is located right on the front door. This decision is highly questionable because it can have a drastic effect on the side impact protection. But Jenhoo’s representatives didn’t speak about its safety.

According to Jenhoo, the EV48 will be launched on the Chinese market in H1 2023. Brand representatives also mentioned that they’ve already started to build the communication with some logistic companies. We will keep an eye on the Jenhoo EV48, so stay tuned.
