The ACE Yewt is an electric light commercial vehicle (A-segment), produced by the ACE EV Group since 2021.

History

Two years after its foundation, the ACE EV Group introduced its future range of electric cars, including a small pickup truck called the ACE Yewt. Characterized by a curvilinear silhouette, the vehicle was developed with the use of an aluminum frame and lightweight plastics reinforced with carbon fiber.[1]

In addition to the Yewt, the ACE EV Group also introduced a panel van variant called the ACE Cargo.[2] The van was characterized by a high roof line, which suddenly lowered at the height of the two-person passenger compartment.

Both the Yewt and Cargo were delivered in October 2021[3] for production in Adelaide, South Australia, reaching local buyers in the following year. The main targets are small entrepreneurs in large Australian metropolises.[4]

Specifications

Both the Yewt and Cargo offer a 23 kWh battery that provides a maximum speed of 100km/h, reach 50km/h in 7 seconds, and travel a maximum of 150 to 200 kilometers on a single charge depending on the load and style.[5]
