maybe when they are available, it could be converted as a camper van. Nice thing about this option is you could have fully electric appliances, like for cooking, hot water.
Definitely would be a great camper conversion, especially if it integrates V2G/V2H tech, as the camper could act as your house battery when not in use and when away could act like a mobile power station and allow (like people have mentioned) fully electric appliances onboard. Exciting times!!
Would be great to have a version for contractors such as carpenters, plumbers etc.. Love the idea of getting something like this for our company to get rid of our gas-guzzling work van/trucks
@@Kavster92 The real features are it being a compact vehicle, wholly enclosed, and nice to drive - features here in the UK that make the SWB Transit Custom and the Vauxhall Vivaro the most popular trade vehicles.

I read that they are but can't remember where. They have the ability to setup what they call a 'micro-factory'. Can work within existing structures so only takes a matter of months, perhaps weeks. Only perceived issues are material logistics and sourcing batteries.
Arrival is making the Commercial Automobile industry work in Apple-Way but at reasonable Prices. All the best Arrival. Maybe I could work with your company after my Post Graduate in Robotics.
you need to bring this to the public too! there must be demand for people like self-employed trade, campers, people carriers, etc. Hope you get there soon!
Here's an idea. Let's say IKEA dies a deal. Arrival builds a few microfactories at IKEA distribution warehouses. You go to an IKEA store, pick features you want, choose an interior model (by IKEA). 2 weeks later, your van arrives at that store, either fully fitted and built, or with the flat pack interior of your choice ready for you to install?
For you this would be an almost perfect use case for an electric van. Plus the music eliminates the danger of driving a quiet vehicle. Driving an electric scooter for a few years, this was my biggest surprise: I have to concentrate 100% on people not having noticed me because they will not hear me until I'm past them.
I'm happy to buy one new and convert it if the range is adequate. In 10 years time batteries may have changed enough that I'll fork out for another expensive one and you (or someone) can have this one for a much more reasonable amount of money.
It won't be like gasoline vehicles though. You'd probably have to buy a new battery which makes it entirely different from buying a used van. Battery lifetime is way shorter than engine lifespan.
@@melanieenmats The opposite is true. Battery lifetimes are about double the life of ICE vehicles. It's one of the main reasons battery electric vehicles are cost effective right now. Because even though the cost is higher, they last longer and have significantly less maintenance as well. So the overall cost of ownership over the life of the vehicle is lower. Once the price of batteries goes low enough, there will be fewer and fewer applications for ICE vehicles.
I have a small fleet of vans that deliver fresh food to restaurants. Only upgrade I would like is the ability to kit it out with a refrigeration unit and still able to do 150-200 miles. Once that can be done I won't be buying diesel again
I cannot wait to see what people do to make this a minibus or something as that door configuration at the front passenger side is immensely convenient from the looks of things. I’m impressed!
I am impressed about the ingenuity of the production process. Look forward to more of the recycling process. If this gain attention, popularity and momentum.. I hope the big automotive companies will follow suit. We need a closed circle product lifecycle. As for any product, to reduce waste and improve our environment. Therefore batteries should have a 2nd life as well when their capacity aren't effective anymore.
As an alarm tech, I'm super excited to see this hit mass market. I've actually told my boss to hold off on purchasing my new van (current one broke down) to see if this can be a feasible purchase. Prices pending.
Very nice vehicle! In Sweden where I live they pour a large amount of salt and gravel on the road during the vinter to prevent accidents, this leads to cracks in the windshield and some unlucky owners of vehicles have to change their windshield every year or more often. Have you thought about this and is it easy to change the windshield? The glass firms in Sweden are in a golden age, changing all of these windshields!
Looks awesome. It's such an exciting time in transportation at the moment. So much boundary pushing R&D from both the big players but increasingly startups like Arrival. The roads are going to look and sound very different in 10 years time. A big thing for fleets also will be V2G. Delivery vehicles will be able to make money whilst sat at the depot in the evening.
It would be cool if they made some matching cargo trailers. In my business I have tools I use every day and some bigger ones I need to haul around. Also integrate some solar panels and sunroof.
These are exciting times. It feels like we're living in the future because I always just assumed we'd have regular gas / diesel cars even when I was an old man. I'm getting more and more into electric cars now, a year ago I was skeptical.
I like it! But no way would those headlights work in a place where it snows. (unless they have some kind of a heating element to melt the snow / ice that would pack within those small sugar scoops)
The low floor is nice for city deliveries and efficiency, but not for some other uses: rural roads, dirt roads, camper vans. How easy will it be to raise the suspension or build a variant with a higher floor? How about an air setup that raises it when needed - that could be best of both worlds. Not sure if the rollerskate setup makes this sort of thing easier or not.
I'm curious what will happen if the van drives over a speed bump or anything similar that would hit the underside of the vehicle, would it damage the battery? Would the battery explode?
Just a guess but there is probably a protection plate underneath as this will protect the batteries against damage (therefore reduce the risk of fire etc) as well help with the aerodynamics. If you look at most or diesel vans designed for fleet, certainly around 5 years old (not sure about brand new ones) they don't even have the plastic underpans we are acustomed to on modern cars - lift the bonnet and you see the floor through gaps around the engine. I imagine in your scenario, although hopefully not a speedbump but maybe a rock etc, an internal combustion powered vanwould alsk be at risk as something ljke the fuel pump, oil sump etc could get damaged. Again I think we are looking at worst case scenario and normal use these things can drive over speed bumps, kerbs etc without too much bother. Ground clearance this van doesn't looklower than say a merc sprinter and certainly not lower than a car. Don't see many Teslas exploding due to a speed bump!
It is a nicer designed van guys than what we have on the roads now, but this new EV van is sadly not as nice as the Alpha design, that we saw only a few months ago really. It’s a shame that they’ve gone soo far away soo easily from the look that drew a lot of people to ARRIVAL in the first place. I hope that they will consider releasing the first design as well in the end for the rest of the future aesthetic loving customer base. Do also hope that the bus design (which is in production) will remain the same as that had the same kinda look to the Alpha. That modularity look with the smooth simplified shapes really drew people in, and it would be very disappointing if they just went back to the ‘what we already know’ look.
The vans redesign was likely the result of packaging and crash test improvements. It still remains extremely distinct compared to any of its competitors.
If the EV battery is competitive in terms of price and range, then this is a product that will take off! Love the concept, fantastic product. The video might be a bit more compelling if you‘d add some music now and then, especially at the end.
ground clearance needs increasing to allow for potholes, speed bumps and ramp pinch points, and farm roads The computer screen requires a downward head movement instead of just eye movement to keep eyes closer to whats in front of them
The first look is nice. There are many questions, though. What is the life of the battery; what is the cost of replacement, what is the range, what is the recharge time, can the home outlet be used, when will this be available in Asia? And others.
Amazing! I have my eye on this van as a camper van. Before the Sprinter have always been the go-to van for conversion to a camper. But this looks like a contender for the future. Composite material, like the Aptera car, is great, stronger than metal and no rust. Modular batteries are great too, to swap out when needed. What about range? When new batteries come with longer range, I guess its possible to change the old ones since its modular? I am concerned about the payload from a campervan perspective, the batteries plus the equipment inside, like kitchen, bed shower etc, will the weight be too much? Another question, how much will this van cost?
Wonder how it would tackle some of the speed bumps up and down the country because I tell you it looks like it'll be grazed here and there, but otherwise a sound piece of engineering, will be looking forward to seeing these out and about!
I also would want this to be a base for a self build camper - so having solar panels on the roof would be perfect. I wonder what rear door options there will be? fast charging speed?

Never thought about that but it makes sense: lot's of short segments in a relatively short distance without the need to keep the engine running

this looks like the future of delivery vehicles, I can already see amazon dropping off a package in one of those
Just bravo to whoever did these subtitles
I don’t know much about vans but I really enjoyed this video and thought the van was amazing.

Crash testing yet? Will you share crash test videos when you reach that stage?
If they reduce the horsepower of the vehicle, crash test will be utterly legoland
