What fits in the load area
| Euro pallets (1,200 x 800mm) | 2, in a single row |
|---|---|
| UK standard pallets (1,200 x 1,000mm) | 1, in a single row |
| 8 x 4 sheets (2,440 x 1,220mm) | Too long for the floor |
| Pipe, timber or ladders | Up to 1.6m on the floor |
Worked out from the verified floor length 1,664mm, 1,270mm between the wheel arches, 1,337mm high. At the full Euro pallet count, the payload allows about 380kg per pallet. Counts use the width between the wheel arches for the whole floor, so they never over-count. Door openings are not in our data: check the rear and side door apertures before relying on a count. Goods stacked on a pallet can stand up to about 1,187mm tall, allowing 150mm for the pallet itself.
Could you go electric?
How this van compares with Volkswagen ID. Buzz Cargo Commerce 79 kWh Single-speed auto (RWD), the closest alternative across the electric line, for a typical working day.
Electric looks practical
- Range. 100 miles a day sits comfortably inside a planning range of about 194 miles, so an overnight charge covers the day.
- Payload. The electric version carries 83kg less (690kg against 773kg).
- Energy. Charging at a small-business depot costs about 8.1p a mile against 19.2p for diesel: roughly £2,775 a year less at 25,000 miles.
- Price. The electric version lists for no more than the diesel after the £5,000 zero emission van and truck grant.
How this is worked out
- Planning range is 70% of the official 277-mile WLTP figure, allowing for winter weather and a full load.
- Energy use 0.285 kWh a mile: the usable battery divided by the official range.
- Diesel 165.48p a litre excluding VAT (DESNZ, week of 2 November 2026); the Mercedes-Benz Vito 116 Crew Van PRO L2's official 39.2mpg.
- Electricity: 28.59p/kWh at a small-business depot (DESNZ, excluding VAT), 26.32p at home as the driver pays (Ofgem price cap), 65.83p on public rapid chargers (Zapmap, excluding VAT).
- 250 working days a year. List prices exclude VAT and options; running costs exclude servicing, insurance, tax and residual values.
