Cenntro Metro
compact electric commercial vehicle

This page is no longer current and the vehicle has been discontinued.

New to the UK in 2020, the Cenntro Metro is a compact utility commercial vehicle available in two body styles and Go Green Autos Ltd is the first UK dealer. Assembled in the UK to a unique specification, these 100% electric commercial vehicles are ideal for local authorities, urban deliveries, universities, schools, airports, hotels, site work or within parkland & estates. With a range exceeding many other currently available electric utility vehicles in this 'compact' class and a top speed of 53 mph, they can be used for any urban commercial work, particularly in zero or low emission zones.

Its compact dimensions makes them ideal for working in gardens or parks with narrow gateways, or working on footpaths and pavements, or within buildings or in other tight spaces. Even though the vehicle may be compact, the Metro box van has a 3.36m3 cargo volume, which is the same as the Peugeot Partner Electric (3.3m3) and larger than the Renault Kangoo ZE ML20 (3.0m3).

One of the most cost effective electric commercial vehicles in the UK

These compact two seater vehicles have a long life lithium battery pack and are available with either a dropside or box van body. Running costs are extremely low with minimal maintenance required, zero road tax, congestion & ULEZ exemption and a full charge costing only around £1.95 or less.

(based on 15p per kWh and fully charging a 13kWh battery)

They are ideal for short distance work were modern diesels suffer from clogged particulate filters and pollute!
