Kia’s new Professional Business Van (PBV) range is built from the ground up as all-electric workhorses. With clever modular design, fast charging and smart connectivity, PV5 is ready to cut running costs and keep your business moving in and around Gateshead and the North East.
Kia PV5 is the first model in the PBV line up, available as Cargo and Passenger from launch, with further variants to follow. Each version uses the same dedicated EV platform, with low step-in height, generous interior space and quick charging to minimise downtime.
Ideal for trades, delivery fleets and service businesses that need space, efficiency and up-time.
All-electric van with low step height to make loading and unloading easier for drivers all day long.
Large, practical load area designed to maximise usable volume for tools, parcels or equipment.
Fast-charge capability to get from low battery to working range in around half an hour when using a compatible rapid charger, helping keep vehicles on the road.
Smart fleet-focused technology and connectivity designed to support route planning, energy use and vehicle monitoring.
Designed to carry people in comfort while still offering plenty of room for luggage and gear.
Available in five or seven seat layouts
Spacious cabin with a flat floor and flexible seating, helping you balance passengers and load space.
Dedicated EV platform with smooth, quiet drive to make airport transfers, shuttle work or family journeys more relaxed.
Fast-charging capability and competitive range to keep downtime low between jobs.
Kia is expanding the PBV family to cover even more.
PV5 Crew: designed to carry both your team and their tools, with a second row that can convert to extra load area when needed.
PV5 Chassis-Cab: created for specialist conversions such as dropsides, tippers, refrigerated boxes or welfare units.
Concept PV7: a larger electric panel van in development, planned to deliver even more cargo space and software-based services for demanding fleets.
The Kia PBV has been purposefully engineered to meet the demands of modern business.
That means:
Dedicated electric platform: designed for high-utilisation fleets, with a low step-in height and easy access for drivers and passengers.
Smart charging and range: rapid DC charging from around 10–80% in roughly 30 minutes at a suitably powerful charger, with competitive WLTP range depending on battery and model.
Connected solutions: data-driven fleet tools and app-based services are being developed to support route planning, charging management and up-time.
Built for conversion: flat load floor and modular body structures are designed to work with approved converters for industry-specific solutions.
