Electric chassis with cab in Europe: Market overview
As of: September 11, 2026
An electric chassis cab is a battery-electric commercial vehicle consisting of a frame, drivetrain, and cab, without a body. The body is added by a bodybuilder. This overview lists the electric series offered in Europe in the light commercial vehicle segment and indicates which of them feature a chassis variant.
Why this distinction is the first selection question
Electric panel vans are widely available in Europe. Electric chassis cabs are not. Operators who require a box, refrigerated, flatbed, or workshop body cannot use a panel van. For them, the question of the chassis variant comes before any question of range or price.

What the overview shows
Among the electric series offered in the light commercial vehicle segment in Europe, Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Iveco, the Stellantis series, and Maxus currently lead with a widely available chassis variant. Several manufacturers newly entering the European market offer panel vans exclusively. The highest publicly specified DC charging capacities in the segment range from 150 to 188 kilowatts. High-voltage architectures with a significantly higher voltage than 400 volts remain the exception in the light commercial vehicle segment so far.
