To launch our new 7.5t & 9.2t eCargo platforms, we’re offering a free chassis for the first five October orders!
We’re proud to announce the launch of our new 7.5-tonne and 9.2-tonne IVECO-based eCargo platforms, delivering full-size electric chassis cabs designed for versatility, comfort, and zero-emission operation.
Full-Size Comfort and Proven Performance
Electra’s new 7.5t and 9.2t eCargo platforms feature a full-size cab, ensuring enhanced ergonomics, more space, and greater comfort for both drivers and crews. This makes them ideally suited to urban stop/start operations, municipal collections, and a wide range of commercial applications.
The launch builds on the proven success of Electra’s 12t eCargo platform, which has been operating reliably for more than four years across diverse applications. These new platforms bring the same trusted technology to operators requiring slightly lower-weight vehicles, while maintaining real-world performance and payload capability.
Flexible and Future-Ready
The new platforms offer configurable battery placement, allowing operators and bodybuilders to choose between external chassis-mounted or internal frame installations. This flexibility enables tailored solutions across multiple use cases.

Electra can guarantee delivery of the new eCargo with a food waste body ahead of this deadline, ensuring local authorities and private operators are fully compliant on time.
These vehicles are equally suited to caged tipper applications, where their payload capacity, flexible chassis layout, and superior cab design provide significant advantages.
