BrightDrop Zevo 600
The BrightDrop Zevo 600 was unveiled as the marque's first vehicle at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada on 12 January 2021 along with the Trace pallet. FedEx received the first 5 vans of a 500 van fleet in December 2021. In April 2022 the EV600 was renamed to Zevo inclusive of two variants, the Zevo 600 and Zevo 400 (previously known as EV410.) With an estimated range of 250 miles, the vans require only a single charge for a full day of deliveries. Because the van does not need a drive train axle, engineers were able to lower the step-in height by two inches, improving ergonomics in order to reduce the physical strain on delivery drivers. Consumer sales are planned starting in 2022. GM partnered with KUKA, a close supplier to build the initial supply of vehicles in 2021. GM is set to shift production of the Zevo 600 to CAMI Automotive in November 2022. The Zevo 600 has an estimated driving range of 250 miles. It is based on the Ultium architecture announced by GM in 2020. The Zevo 600 has an advertised 600 cubic feet of cargo area, and a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of under 10,000 pounds. The Zevo 600, driven by Stephen Marlin holds the Guinness World Record for greatest distance traveled by an electric van on a single charge.
