Based on a new EV skateboard-like platform, Flexis has developed three electric light commercial vehicles that feature a low floor height, customisable interiors, high-capacity fast-charging batteries and up to 280-mile ranges. Production is slated to start mid-2026 at Renault Group’s Sandouville plant in France.
The lineup is set to include three models currently called Step-in van, Panel van and Cargo van. Here’s what the company has revealed so far about each (it’s not much).

What Is The Flexis Step-In Van?
The Step-In van features a tall silhouette for the medium van segment featuring front sliding doors and a rear shutter door - a purported first for the European market. The van will feature walking access between the cabin and cargo areas with a 1.9m height clearance allowing drivers to stand upright throughout the vehicle. It’s been likened to the delivery vans you see companies like UPS using as delivery vehicles with payload and other details yet to be confirmed.

What Is The Flexis Panel Van?
The Flexis Panel van will feel more familiar, with an overall height of 1.9m enabling it to enter underground city parking and garages. This van will be positioned against vehicles like the Ford Transit Custom and Vauxhall Vivaro. Again, payload and other details are yet to be confirmed.

What Is The Flexis Cargo Van?
The Cargo van is aimed at urban last-mile delivery use featuring a convertible box on the back capable of providing different widths, heights and bed types, as well as modular solutions such as refrigerated boxes. As with the other two vans, payload and other details are yet to be confirmed.

When Will The Flexis Electric Vans Launch?
The Flexis electric vans are scheduled for production and launch to customers in 2026.
