Mercedes-Benz has teased a new vision for the future of its Van category, marking a "new era" with the announcement of its Van Electric Architecture (VAN.EA). Set to debut in 2026, this modular and scalable platform is set to revolutionize the brand’s approach to electric vans, offering versatility and innovation across both private and commercial segments.
With VAN.EA, Mercedes-Benz Vans aims to distinctly separate its offerings, catering to both luxury-focused private customers and premium commercial users. For the private market, the future portfolio will include high-quality family vans, exclusive VIP shuttles and spacious limousines. The commercial lineup will similarly benefit from the VAN.EA platform, maintaining the premium quality synonymous with the Mercedes-Benz name.
To offer a glimpse of what’s to come, Mercedes-Benz Vans is set to unveil a showcar in spring 2025. It shared that the concept will embody the company’s vision of a luxurious, highly elegant and spacious electric limousine, designed to meet the highest standards of luxury and functionality.
