Electric medium-duty van WOLV FC40 may appear in Russia

The Nizhny Novgorod Company NEMO, the official distributor of WOLV electric trucks, is studying the feasibility of importing a medium-duty electric van WOLV FC40. Andrey Dorofeev, co-founder of the project, told the Chinese Automobiles portal about it, by adding that this summer, the manufacturer Fengchuen plans to obtain a European VAT for this model, which will speed up significantly the certification process in the Customs Union. The appearance of the WOLV FC40 is distinguished by two-level optics, interconnected DRLs, and the headlights are hidden under glass in special niches. The interior of the car is emphatically utilitarian: it has neither a digital instrument panel nor a media system screen, and air conditioning works instead of climate control. The van is equipped with a 136 hp engine. According to the automaker, the WOLV FC40 is capable of driving up to 300 km on a single charge. The battery capacity from the largest Chinese manufacturer CATL is 105.3 kWh.

It takes up to 10 hours for a standard charge, but there is also a fast one. Dimensions of WOLV FC40 are 5915 x 2040 x 2632 mm with a wheelbase of 3665 mm. There are two seats in the cab, but you can add one more seat as an option. The cargo compartment itself occupies 10.5 cubic meters. Curb weight - 3.3 tons, taking into account the carrying capacity of 1250 kg. As AUTOSTAT previously reported, NEMO presented a new electric truck WOLV FC-25 in Russia.

Currently, the model is undergoing certification tests, which are scheduled to be completed by July, and in September the first cars should appear at dealers. In the future, NEMO plans to bring other WOLV models to Russia (we are talking, in particular, about the DV40 and DV45 trucks). However, now the market is not ready for electric vehicles with larger payloads, according to the company.
