Canoo Inc., an advanced mobility company, has received Individual Vehicle Approval (IVA) regulatory certificates for its Right-Hand Drive (RHD) electric delivery vans in the United Kingdom. This achievement paves the way for the pilot testing of Canoo’s RHD variants of the LDV 130 and LDV 190 electric delivery vans with a prestigious UK fleet. The certification ensures that Canoo’s vehicles meet the stringent safety and environmental standards required in the UK, allowing them to be legally registered and operated in the country.
Key Highlights:
- IVA certificates obtained for Canoo’s RHD LDV 130 and LDV 190 electric vans.
- Certification achieved with less than 2% changes to the original Bill of Materials (BoM).
- Approval allows for pilot testing with a prestigious fleet in the UK.
- Contributes to UK’s carbon reduction goals with clean, efficient delivery vehicles.
The IVA certification for Canoo’s RHD LDV 130 and LDV 190 models was achieved in just three months, requiring minimal modifications to the original US-certified Bill of Materials (BoM), with changes under 2%. Notably, the modified parts are common between both LDV130 and LDV190 models, showcasing Canoo’s streamlined and adaptable engineering. With this certification, Canoo’s electric vans can now be registered with the UK Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), ensuring they are compliant with local regulations.
The certification demonstrates Canoo’s commitment to quality, safety, and environmental compliance. As Canoo moves forward, its LDV 130 and LDV 190 vans will undergo pilot testing with a well-regarded fleet in the UK. This step signifies Canoo’s intent to support the UK’s carbon emission reduction initiatives and further promote cleaner air through sustainable mobility solutions.
Canoo’s innovative approach is built on a multi-purpose platform featuring steer-by-wire technology and a low-profile suspension system that allows for a configurable right-hand drive setup. The upcoming pilot fleet in the UK will benefit from these technologies, designed to enhance functionality, safety, and ergonomics for drivers.
