Vehicle model
LEVC Gamme LEVC - électrique/hybride
Electrification is the very identity of LEVC: the brand has produced only electrified vehicles since its relaunch in 2017. Its flagship technology is the eCity range extender, a form of series hybrid in which the vehicle always runs on electricity while a small gasoline engine recharges the battery without ever driving the wheels. This approach combines the advantages of electric driving (quietness, immediate torque, zero local emissions in battery mode) with the flexibility of a vehicle free from charging constraints on long trips. The brand is also developing a fully electric platform, the Space Oriented Architecture (SOA), for its future models. This category illustrates LEVC's strategy: electrifying urban commercial and professional mobility. Tire and wheel note: whether range-extender or purely electric versions, the weight of the batteries requires robust tires; in Quebec, opt for winter tires suited to the load index.

Series hybrid with eCity range extender: fully electric drive, lithium-ion battery (about 34.6 kWh recently), three-cylinder gasoline generator. Parallel development of a fully electric platform (SOA) optimized for interior space and accessibility.
Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les véhicules LEVC, taxi TX et fourgon VN5, sont des utilitaires lourds conçus pour un usage urbain intensif, ce qui implique des pneus à forte capacité de charge et flancs renforcés. Les diamètres de jantes se situent généralement dans la plage des utilitaires compacts (autour de 16 à 18 pouces selon la version). Au Québec, des pneus d'hiver homologués sont obligatoires et fortement recommandés pour ces véhicules lourds et à usage continu, afin d'assurer traction et freinage sur neige et glace. Vérifiez toujours l'entraxe (bolt pattern), l'indice de charge et de vitesse d'origine avant de choisir pneus ou jantes; ces véhicules restant rares en Amérique du Nord, confirmez les dimensions exactes sur la plaque du constructeur.
