DFSK South Africa has announced the roll out of  the DFSK EC35 Electric Panel Van, an innovative and affordable electric vehicle designed to meet the demands of South African businesses while contributing to a greener future. With a solid build, excellent load capacity, and impressive range, the EC35 Electric Panel Van is set to revolutionize the way South African companies approach logistics and transportation in an affordable way. 

“The EC35 is designed to be a practical, eco-conscious choice for South African businesses that need a reliable vehicle for cargo transport,” says Gina Giani, CEO DFSK South Africa. “We are committed to providing an affordable, reliable and powerful electric alternative for businesses.’’

Simplicity is key.  The vehicle can be charged by plugging it into your normal, every day house plug.  This will take a little longer.  Fast charging, from empty to full, takes a mere 60 minutes.

Reliability

Gina Giani and her team have focused on the continuous support that will be available to customers after they have purchased the vehicle allowing for trouble free transportation of goods.  “We understand that reliability is the most important factor when choosing a vehicle for your business.  Our team has been professionally trained to handle all aspects of the after sales market. This covers the entire range of DFSK vehicles.
