Mercedes-Benz Expands Its Modular and Scalable Van Architecture for Greater Efficiency and Versatility

Mercedes-Benz Vans introduces modular architectures for both electric and combustion models, enhancing efficiency, flexibility, and innovation in luxury and commercial transport.

Mercedes-Benz Vans is set to introduce a flexible vehicle architecture that accommodates both state-of-the-art combustion engines and electric drivetrains on a single platform.

Beginning in 2026, fully electric models will debut under the Van Electric Architecture (VAN.EA), followed by combustion-engine variants built on the Van Combustion Architecture (VAN.CA).

This modular and scalable approach ensures a clear distinction between luxury-focused private vans and premium commercial transporters while maximizing efficiency.

With around 70% shared components between VAN.EA and VAN.CA, both versions will be produced on the same assembly line, optimizing synergies and cost-effectiveness. By offering a highly adaptable product lineup, Mercedes-Benz Vans is reinforcing its competitive edge in the evolving market.
