Without the engine, gearbox and other important key components of previous cars, electric vehicles with simpler structures give designers more freedom and more diverse changes. Opel has previously based on the Citri n Ami in the same group, labeled with its own brand avatar Rocks-e metropolis electric vehicle, and now it has further created a commercial version of Rocks-e Kargo that can almost be said to be a "takeaway artifact", although the size of the mini has a large space of 400 liters, and there is a shelf designed for delivery boxes. The delivery man has Rocks-e Kargo, which not only can cover the wind and rain, but also has a super fashionable appearance, and the number of runs can also be "Rock" rock calls!
Benefiting from the Group's resource sharing strategy, it only joined the French PSA Group in 2017, and was included in the Olympic Group of the Stellantis Group in 2021, and in 2021, it will use the Citro n Ami platform as the basis to create the Rocks-e microcouple electric vehicle. Leaving Ami's sleek and playful shape design style, as well as a mini body of less than 2.5 meters and only 2,410mm long, and a flexible driving feature with a turning radius of only 3.6 meters, plus 7,990 euros, it is necessary to grab the beachhead of the European entry-level electric market.
Now Opel wants to further expand the range of electric cute product lines, change rocks-e to a more rigid "single-seat" setting, and directly launch Rocks-e Kargo. As the name suggests, such adjustments are not for the sake of "competitive" needs, but to enhance the overall spatial function. Opel changed the right seat to a storage space, which can be placed in two sets of food delivery boxes, which is a good delivery partner for delivery workers, or fast food stores and Pizza store staff.
In addition, Opel also designed a large table above the right seat space design, which can usually be covered to hide the goods below as a partition between the cabin and the cargo hold, in addition to ensuring that the goods will not "invade" the driving space during the journey, causing danger, but also to make the vision in the car more "clean" and clean. At the same time, there is a simple desk above, which can be used as a real helper for using tablets, laptops, or signing documents.
Opel said that although the Rocks-e Kargo is only 2.41 meters long and only 1.39 meters wide, by raising the height of the car, the height of the car has been raised to 1.52 meters. Under such a body profile, as long as the table plate is stored behind the driver's seat and the height-adjustable cargo bilge plate is reduced to a minimum, the Rocks-e Kargo can load items with a height of 1.2 meters, as well as a maximum loading space of 400 liters and a maximum load of 140 kg, which is quite enough for urban delivery or gourmet delivery.
The powertrain maintains the original level of Rocks-e Kargo, with an electric motor with a maximum horsepower of 12 horses and a rated output of 8 horsepower and a 5.5kWh lithium-ion power battery pack as the power source, which can pay a maximum range of 75 kilometers. Opel said that using a general public charging pile, it only takes about 4 hours to complete the charging.
Moreover, as with the bus version, the Rocks-e Kargo is also equipped with a panoramic glass roof, without compromise because of the use of the van. Not only that, but Rocks-e Kargo can also provide a sheltered working environment for delivery workers, and perhaps with Rocks-e Kargo, the future of wind and rain to call food takeaways can be less guilty!
