Mercedes-Benz Group won’t take part in French company Renault’s FlexEvan electric project and will focus instead on its own premium electric vehicle, VAN.EA, Reuters reported on Friday.
The project, scheduled to launch in 2026, is being developed for the Renault and Nissan marques, and sources say it could also be joined by Renault Trucks, a brand owned by Sweden’s Volvo.
Mercedes-Benz Group had no plan to launch a mid-sized van or a large one on a different platform than VAN.EA, according to a spokesman for the company, confirmed the news, while Renault declined to comment.
