Chery’s Delivan reveals European eLCV line-up at IAA ahead of 2027 launch

Delivan, the commercial vehicle brand from Chery Commercial Vehicle, has unveiled its Europe-developed product and technology line-up at IAA Transportation 2026.

Delivan’s proposition spans two core electric vans, four specialist conversion solutions and its ‘1+3’  solution

Revealed as the brand prepares for commercial launch in mainland Europe and the UK in 2027, the proposition spans two core electric vans, four specialist conversion solutions and its ‘1+3’  solution.

Delivan first previewed its brand in April 2026 at the Commercial Vehicle Show in Birmingham and the brand continues to build its European foundations, including a European headquarters, local operations in the UK and Germany, local R&D and service capabilities, and an expanding network of European partners.

“Europe is the standard we chose for ourselves. This is what defines Delivan. Built not only for Europe, but with Europe,” said Ross Davies, COO of Chery Commercial Vehicle UK.

The L1H1 and L2H3 panel vans form the foundation of Delivan’s European range. Developed with input from customers and fleet partners across the UK, Germany, France, the Netherlands and Spain, the vehicles are designed around European operating requirements.

The line-up offers battery options from 50.4kWh to 97.4kWh, up to 246 miles (426km) of WLTP combined range and charging from 15% to 80% in around 22 minutes.

In terms of capability, the L2H3 offers up to 11.6m³ of cargo volume, while the L1H1 offers a payload of up to 1,400kg. Both panel van models feature a 2,500kg towing capacity. The line-up also includes the L3CC chassis cab, which provides up to a 2,120kg payload to serve as a flexible base for specialist applications.

At IAA 2026, Delivan is also showcasing four specialist conversions — Crew Van, Fridge Box, Tool Storage and 3-Way Tipper — developed with European partners including Gruau and Sortimo.

Delivan has also established conversion partnerships with Junge and Bott, alongside strategic signings covering vehicle lifecycle services and commercial applications, accelerating the localisation of its offering in Europe.

Beyond the vehicle line-up, Delivan’s ‘1+3’ proposition combines its core vehicle range with Delivan I, Delivan Pro and Delivan X. Delivan I focuses on intelligence and connectivity, with fleet management capabilities covering vehicle status, driver behaviour, route efficiency and energy consumption. Delivan Pro focuses on service and uptime, including remote diagnostics and maintenance alerts through the Uptime Centre. Delivan X provides conversion and customisation capabilities through technical partnerships with specialist companies.

Yueqiong Gong, vice president of Chery Holding Group and general manager of Chery Commercial Vehicle, said: “Using real-time connected-vehicle data, our in-house smart system applies AI to connect the entire operational chain – from individual vehicles to fleet management. Every vehicle, every kilometre of operational data is turned into measurable, tangible returns for our customers – making their operations safer and more efficient.”

The localised approach continues beyond product development. European customers and fleet partners have contributed to product research, while European bodybuilders and conversion specialists are involved in developing application-specific solutions. Delivan is also continuing to expand its local operating and partnership network as it prepares for market entry.

“We have not come to Europe to sell vehicles. We have come to stay – to put down deep roots. Our direction is very clear: we are fully committed to localising talent, products, R&D and services,” said Gong.
