JAKARTA - Japanese automotive manufacturer Suzuki announced that it will soon produce a commercial pickup car, namely Carry with Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV).

Suzuki will start his modeling experiment in the fiscal year 2025, where they will lend the pickup to the agricultural sector within a certain period of time.

Japanese media Car Watch reported Tuesday, April 29, demonstrations will be conducted in a number of cities from Homatsu, Kosai, Toyokawa, and Aso District for one year to be leased.

This commercial vehicle experiment will be assessed by various factors, especially in its use for agricultural needs and how to effectively utilize solar power generation energy through the V2H (Vehicle-to-home) system.

This allows electric vehicles from BEV batteries to be used at home, and their vehicles can be charged from the storage battery at home.

Of course, this vehicle is an attractive choice because it can reduce pollution and is expected to be increased for various commercial needs.

Unfortunately, the specifications for this commercial vehicle are still covered by Suzuki because this BEV version of Carry is still a prototype.

Suzuki will also expand the Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) in the commercial sector, one of which is opening cooperation with other giants such as Toyota and Daihatsu. Each manufacturer will launch the van this year which is designated as a commercial vehicle while promoting electrification growth in Sakura Country.

The three companies are committed to encouraging this initiative to achieve carbon neutrality. This is done through the provision of mini-commercial van BEV which can meet customer needs in the shipping industry by providing practical and sustainable means of transportation.

Further details regarding the model have yet to be disclosed. However, the three cars are claimed to have an estimated distance of about 200 km in full or more impressive charging compared to the Mitsubishi Minicab MiEV which has a range of 133 km but is still lower than the Honda N-Van e: 245 km.
