Vehicle model
LEVC Gamme LEVC - utilitaires ou VUS
LEVC's commercial lineup is embodied by the VN5, a mid-size van derived from the TX taxi, unveiled in 2019 and marketed in the United Kingdom in 2020. Designed for last-mile delivery and urban commerce, it offers large cargo volume, easy side and rear access, and a range-extender electric drivetrain that eliminates the fear of running out of charge. It targets commercial fleets concerned with reducing their emissions in city centers. Rugged and designed for intensive daily use, the VN5 shares the durability philosophy of the TX taxi. This category nonetheless remains very scarcely present in North America. Tire and wheel note: as a heavy commercial vehicle, it requires tires with a high load index and, in Quebec, winter tires for traction on snow and ice; confirm the dimensions and bolt pattern on the vehicle's plate.

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.
