The LS 300 is a Class 3 vehicle and will be available in two variations: as a van and a truck.

The van version features four doors for easy access and the truck variation can be upfitted with different configurations that can meet the needs for multiple applications.

Cenntro will assemble the LS300 at its Jacksonville, FL and Freehold, NJ assembly plants. The market demand for this type of vehicle is robust, particularly for last mile delivery markets. The LS300 will launch in North America with production and distribution expected in Q3 2023.

“The LS300 is well-positioned to meet the rapidly growing demand in the United States for commercial EVs,” said Peter Wang, Chairman and CEO of Cenntro. “The Logistar 300 is another strong addition to our commercial vehicle lineup, providing fleets and businesses with best-in-class EV technology that supports the most robust operating cycles. The vehicle joins our Logistar Series following the LS100, LS200, LS260, and LS400. Now, we have a full line of commercial EVs in multiple configurations for last mile delivery. We look forward to showcasing the LS300 along with our complete lineup at CES in January.”

The LS300 is one of five world premieres that Cenntro will unveil at Booth 5840 in the West Hall where Cenntro will display its complete All Electric Commercial product line. The exhibit will include the full Logistar line which features the versatile, compact cargo van, the LS100, the multi-purpose LS200 available in van or box truck configurations, the segment-defining LS260 van, and the Class 4 LS400 purpose-built for last mile delivery and urban services.
