Every kilo less is a gain
Increase the range of your electric van
Increasing the range of your electric van starts with weight. An aluminium fit-out is up to 30% lighter than steel: fewer kilos on every trip, so more kilometres from the same battery and more payload left for your materials.
The maths of every trip
Less weight, more range: it really is that simple
Fully loaded, on a winter day, with the heating on, and the remaining kilometres drop faster than you drive. That nagging doubt about whether you will make it to the last customer costs you more energy than the trip itself.
Every kilo you do not carry is a kilo your battery does not have to move. That is why we build your fit-out in aluminium: up to 30% lighter than steel with the same load capacity. With aluminium modules and cabinets you save weight on every trip, and you feel that in your range.

Every useful kilo counts
Your battery already weighs enough: protect your payload
The battery of your electric van already takes a good number of kilos out of your maximum permitted weight. Add a heavy steel or wooden fit-out on top, and there is little left for what really earns you money: your materials and your tools.
An aluminium fit-out gives you those useful kilos back. And because the system uses the walls, the height and the space under the floor, you also get up to 40% more usable load space from the same van.
Keep working instead of waiting
Fewer charging stops, more jobs finished
Half an hour at the charging point, in the middle of your working day. That is unpaid working time in which your customer waits and your schedule slips. The further you get on one charge, the less often you stand still.
Less weight means you can complete your route without a stop. And with the Clayton Power energy systems your batteries and tools charge while you drive: your machines no longer cost you an extra stop either.

Building light is building smart
Only what you need: made to measure for your trade
No two tradespeople work the same way, and every unnecessary module is a kilo too many. That is why we design your fit-out to measure: exactly what your work requires, nothing extra to haul around.
The system is modular and expandable, so it grows with your business, and you can rearrange your fit-out flexibly when your work changes. Aluminium does not rust either: your fit-out stays neat, year after year.
Did you know… aluminium is up to 30% lighter than steel with the same load capacity? On an electric van, every kilo saved translates directly into extra range.

Ready for tomorrow, today
Driving electric without compromises on your trade
Do you doubt whether an electric van can handle your working day? Every tradesperson asks themselves that question when making the switch. The answer is more often in the fit-out than in the van itself.
With a light, well-thought-out fit-out you get more from your battery, keep payload to spare and work as comfortably as before. And at resale, a professionally fitted electric van is a real asset.
Bigger battery or lighter fit-out?
A bigger battery? Building lighter is the smarter calculation
“So I will just take a bigger battery, or keep my diesel.” Understandable. But a bigger battery costs a lot more and itself weighs extra kilos, which you haul along on every trip. So you buy range and immediately give part of it back.
An aluminium fit-out works the other way round: it takes weight away. That is range at no extra cost, with every van you ever buy. And unlike wooden DIY builds, which are much heavier and not crash-tested, our fit-out is certified (TÜV GS, ECE R17) and professionally anchored.

All your questions answered
Frequently asked questions about the range of your electric van
How can I increase the range of my electric van?
The biggest gain you can control yourself is weight. The fewer kilos you haul around, the less energy every trip takes and the further you get on one charge.
- Choose an aluminium fit-out: up to 30% lighter than steel, and much lighter than wooden DIY builds.
- Only build what you need: a made-to-measure fit-out avoids unnecessary modules.
- Keep your van tidy: equipment you do not need should not ride along.
We design your fit-out to measure, with weight as the starting point.
How much extra range does a lighter fit-out give?
That depends on your model, your load, your route and even the weather, so promising a fixed number of kilometres would not be honest. The rule of thumb is simple: every kilo you do not carry is a kilo your battery does not have to move.
Together with you, we look at how much weight you can save compared with your current or planned fit-out, and what that means for your daily trips.
What does it cost to increase the range of your electric van?
The price of a lightweight fit-out depends on three factors: the size of your van, your choice of material and the number of modules.
- Size: a compact L1H1 needs fewer modules than a large L3H3.
- Material: aluminium is up to 30% lighter, and on an electric van that pays for itself in range.
- Composition: from a basic set to a complete fit-out.
That is why we work with a bespoke quote: so you know exactly where you stand, with no obligation.
Why is aluminium the best choice for an electric van?
Aluminium is up to 30% lighter than steel with the same load capacity, and it does not rust. On an electric van that counts double: less weight means more range and more payload left for your materials.
All our modules are available in aluminium and are put together to suit your vehicle and your work.
Do I lose load space because of the fit-out in my electric van?
No, quite the opposite. A smart fit-out uses the walls, the height and the space under the floor, places that are otherwise wasted. That way you get up to 40% more usable load space from the same van.
And because everything has its fixed place, you are not driving around unnecessary materials that quietly gnaw at your range.
Is a Guntro fit-out safe in an electric van?
Yes. Every fit-out is crash-tested (TÜV GS, ECE R17, CE) and professionally anchored, in electric models too. Everything stays fixed, even in an emergency stop.
The installation is carried out professionally and made to measure for your model, without touching the battery or the on-board electronics.
How long does it take to install a lightweight fit-out?
We install a standard fit-out quickly; a complete fit-out is usually ready within two working days. You drop your van off in the morning and drive home in the evening with it fully fitted out.
For extensive bespoke work you get a clear schedule in advance, so your van never stands idle longer than necessary.
What if something breaks on the fit-out of my electric van?
Also in an electric van, a BYD ETP3 for example, you get a full 5-year fit-out warranty on our fit-out. If something fails, we arrange the repair.
And because parts remain available for years, your lightweight fit-out lasts at least as long as your battery pack.
Where can I have my electric van fitted out?
Our fit-outs are available in all five Flemish provinces, so almost certainly near you too. We take care of advice, measuring and installation, also for electric models of virtually every make, from L1H1 to L3H3.
Why choose Guntro to increase the range of my electric van?
We combine four strengths that you rarely find together:
- Aluminium fit-outs that are up to 30% lighter: more range and more payload.
- Every fit-out is designed to measure for your trade, without unnecessary kilos.
- Crash-tested safety (TÜV GS, ECE R17, CE), in electric models too.
- 5-year fit-out warranty and we arrange the repair, directly through Guntro.
