Electric ute to exit NZ
LDV’s eT60, the only fully electric ute available to buy new in this country, will soon be withdrawn from the market.
In a brief statement to Stuff, Inchcape NZ says the current heavily discounted eT60s in this country are the last we will see of them. There are no plans to renew supply of the model.
However, the marque’s distributor confirms a replacement for the eT60 is in the pipeline for New Zealand and “all will be revealed in due course”.
Inchcape NZ announced an initial $7,015 discount this month for the battery electric vehicle (BEV) before extending that to $23,000 last week, reports Stuff.
When factoring in the clean car discount, it meant the eT60 was slightly cheaper than LDV’s flagship diesel T60 ute, of which 53 units were registered in this country between January and September 2023.
The marque’s Australian arm has previously confirmed that a replacement for the eT60 is in the pipeline, reports Stuff, for a 2024 arrival and launch.
