The future of commercial transportation is electrifying, and Ram is leading the charge with its first fully electric model ready to hit the roads – the new ProMaster van. This groundbreaking vehicle debuted yesterday and is set to ship in the first half of 2024, promising to transform the way businesses handle last-mile deliveries with its impressive 162-mile range on a full charge, ensuring efficiency and sustainability.
Ram ProMaster EV: Leading the Charge in Sustainable Innovation
The ProMaster EV is not just Ram’s first foray into the electric vehicle market; it’s a strategic move that places the company at the forefront of the electric revolution in the United States. With commercial customers in mind, Ram has beaten its own upcoming Ram 1500 REV to the punch by almost a year, showcasing its commitment to sustainable innovation and setting a new standard for the industry.
Cutting-Edge Performance and Technology
Under the hood – or rather, at the front – the ProMaster EV boasts a front-mounted electric drive unit developed by Stellantis, delivering a robust 200 kilowatts (268 horsepower) and 302 pound-feet of torque. The power comes from a substantial 110-kilowatt-hour battery pack, ensuring that businesses can rely on the van for their city deliveries without the worry of frequent recharging, making it a reliable choice for urban logistics.
Versatile Configurations for Every Business Need
The ProMaster EV is not just about power and range; it’s also about versatility. With two trims – the Delivery and the upcoming Cargo – businesses can choose the configuration that best suits their needs. The Delivery trim can carry up to 2,030 pounds and features a roll-up rear panel and a standard pocket door, while the Cargo version ups the ante with a maximum payload of 3,020 lbs and hinged doors, offering flexibility for various business requirements.
Impressive Dimensions and State-of-the-Art Technology
The van’s dimensions are equally impressive, with a 159-inch wheelbase and an interior width of 75.6 inches. Customers can select from two cargo length options and two roof heights, allowing for a maximum load volume of 524 cubic feet – outpacing competitors like the Ford E-Transit and Mercedes-Benz eSprinter, making it a top choice for businesses looking for ample space and efficiency.
In terms of technology, the ProMaster EV is decked out with LED headlights and fog lights, a high-resolution backup camera, and a 10.1-inch touchscreen display running the Uconnect 5 infotainment system. Safety is also a priority, with features like Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning and Crosswind Assist as standard, and a suite of optional extras including Adaptive Cruise Control and a 360-degree Surround View Camera.
Pioneering the Future of Commercial Deliveries
The ProMaster EV is a ‘game-changer,’ as described by Ram’s CEO Tim Kuniskis. It represents the latest in zero-emission performance and tech, aligning with Stellantis’ Dare Forward 2030 strategy, which aims for 100% EV sales in the EU and 50% in the US by the end of the decade, highlighting Ram’s commitment to a sustainable future.
The ProMaster EV: Redefining Value and Sustainability
With a starting price of $77,995 and eligibility for the $7,500 tax credit, the ProMaster EV is poised to offer the ‘best value proposition’ with the lowest total cost of ownership. It’s not just a vehicle; it’s a testament to Ram’s vision for a sustainable, efficient future for commercial transport.
Leading the Charge Towards Electric Commercial Deliveries
As the electric van market heats up, the ProMaster EV stands out with its combination of range, power, and payload capacity. It’s a clear signal that Ram is not just participating in the EV movement; it’s leading the charge. With the ProMaster EV, Ram is delivering a powerful message: the future of commercial deliveries is electric, and it’s here to stay.
