Arrival unveiled the details of the fully electric cargo van with various features and with a goal to provide fleet at a costs diesel vehicles are sold.

He uses the prototype for fifth Gear and though not perfect, it is an impressive van.

Last year in March, Arrival unveiled these updates. Where the battery-electric van is in lengths from 5.1 to 6.5 meters. That makes for a payload of 1,975 kg and a cargo volume of 2.4 cubic meters per meter of cargo space length. The modular battery pack offers capacities between 44 kWh and 133 kWh.

Arrival has specifically provided details on the electric motor, the charging system, and the range. It is known that they designed the van so that the lightweight aluminum frame and composite components not only reduce weight to increase range but also minimize downtime and costs with repairs needed less frequently.

Rory Reid got a chance to drive a prototype for Fifth Gear and while it was not perfect, he was still impressed. It doesn’t quite set a new standard for commercial vehicles, as Arrival claims, but it’s still very impressive, especially since the prototype that Rory drove was far from finished – he even got an error when the vehicle would not allow him to shift into drive and it required a reset.

Unique features

Arrival electric van is different from other vans, where there is much cargo space. Reid seems to be especially impressed with the space that is available. Other than the fact that it is an electric vehicle and has space as there is no combustion engine. The vehicle built is unique and designed to make it more convenient.

Considering how Arrival opted to build its vehicles in small factories instead of a large ones, they are focused on various aspects. Everything that is included is being designed and made by Arrival. Arrival will not use the method of rolling a vehicle through different stations where more bits get bolted to it. Instead, it will build each vehicle in a booth filled with robotic arms that can perform more than one function. As the company won’t paint its vehicles, a paint booth is not required. As much as the vehicle looks interesting, the specifications are not top-notch like Ford’s van. It would be ideal to see how the vehicle would be once it is out in the market.

Dodge Pauses Entry-Level Charger Daytona R/T for 2026 Amid Shifting Market and Tariff Pressures

The Dodge Charger Daytona R/T will not be part of the 2026 model year lineup, according to Dodge CEO Matt McAlear. While Dodge hasn’t completely ruled out the trim’s return in the future, the automaker has officially postponed its production for now. The reason? A combination of market shifts and uncertainties surrounding U.S. tariff policies. "Production of the Dodge Charger Daytona R/T is postponed for the 2026 model year as we continue to assess the effects of U.S. tariff policies,” McAlear said in a statement to Motor1. Instead, Dodge will sharpen its focus on high-performance offerings, like the Charger Daytona Scat Pack, and upcoming internal combustion alternatives. Scat Pack Takes Center Stage With the R/T trim off the table, the Daytona Scat Pack now becomes the sole all-electric Charger variant available for 2026. And it’s no slouch. Delivering 670 horsepower from its dual-motor setup, the Scat Pack is targeting mid-11-second quarter-mile times. However, the performance comes at the cost of range, 241 miles per the EPA estimate, a step down from the R/T’s 308 miles. That boost in performance also brings a steeper price tag. The Scat Pack will sit around $60,000 after factoring in the $7,500 federal EV tax credit. In contrast, the now-shelved R/T was expected to be a more accessible entry point to the electric muscle segment, slipping in under $50,000 with the same tax break. Lagging Sales, Overstuffed Lots Market data supports Dodge’s decision. Charger sales fell by a staggering 54 percent in 2024. The first-quarter sales of electric Chargers in 2025 totaled just 1,947 units, a mix of both R/T and Scat Pack trims. Meanwhile, Mopar Insiders reported that approximately 3,500 R/T units are still sitting unsold in dealer inventories. This lukewarm reception has highlighted a broader issue: despite the impressive specs, the brand’s electric offerings haven’t captured the hearts of traditional Dodge enthusiasts, many of whom remain loyal to internal combustion. The Sixpack Rises To address this, Dodge is introducing a new four-door variant, the Charger Sixpack, aimed at muscle fans not quite ready to embrace electrification. Powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine, the Sixpack will be available in both standard-output (420 hp) and high-output (550 hp) trims. Though exact pricing hasn’t been revealed, it's expected to slot in around the price point previously held by the R/T. The new platform, STLA Large, is designed to support both EVs and ICE models, giving Dodge flexibility to pivot as demand dictates. Looking Ahead While the Charger Daytona R/T may be gone for now, its future isn’t completely off the table. Dodge is keeping a close eye on market dynamics, government policies, and consumer behavior as it fine-tunes its approach. With the Scat Pack holding the electric torch and the Six Pack catering to combustion purists, Dodge’s strategy appears focused on streamlining its offerings while covering both sides of the propulsion spectrum. As more details about the 2026 Charger lineup emerge, muscle car fans and industry watchers alike will be paying close attention. The muscle car isn’t dead, it’s just adapting.
