Cenntro received a California Air Resources Board (CARB) “Executive Order” and a “Certificate of Conformity” from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the LS450 model. The Certificate of Conformity confirms that the LS450 meets the EPA’s emissions requirements under the Clean Air Act. Receiving the CARB Executive Order certifies that the all-electric LS450 model meets the standards to be classified as a zero-emissions vehicle in California.
The company plans to begin production of the LS450 at its Ontario, California, assembly facility for U.S. markets and its assembly facility in China for global markets. The LS450 model is the latest addition to Cenntro’s product portfolio and is equipped with a 128Kwh battery capacity. This improved battery capacity provides a greater range compared to its predecessor model, the LS400.
Cenntro plans to debut the LS450 at the California Trucking Show in Ontario, California, on October 5 and 6, 2024. The versatile all-electric Class 4 vehicle offers four different configuration options for a variety of applications: a delivery van (LS450DV), cargo truck (LS450CT), shuttle bus (LS450BUS), and refrigerated truck (LS450RT).
“Deploying the LS450 in the US and abroad allows Cenntro customers to experience the benefits of electrification of their fleet—both large and small, with a versatile, multi-functional electric commercial vehicle,” said Peter Wang, Chairman and CEO of Cenntro. “Cenntro has received pre-production orders for the LS450 from customers in the US, Spain and Japan. We plan to begin US production of the LS450 models at our facility in Ontario in October 2024.”
