What Van? have also introduced an Eco category. As we become aware of our carbon footprint, it is necessary to introduce Eco technology into our transport, in this case vans. This year, the Edison from Smith electronic vans won the Eco prize, dually down to its environmentally friendly factor and high performance. This battery powered machine with a electric motor does not opt on the power factor as it can reach similar speeds to any other van and can hold a payload up to 1,800kg on its biggest van. The Eco-Edison has very little in the way of a carbon footprint due to the fact it has no combustions engine, therefore no emissions. This also makes it a quite a peaceful and economic ride.
Potential customers can choose between two engines, one petrol and one diesel. The petrol version will be powered by Nissan's 1.6-litre HR16 engine, as found in Micra, Note and Qashqai. It produces 108HP and 153Nm of torque and is mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
