The Canoo MPDV van cuts a sharp profile reminiscent of the Tesla Cybertruck.

California-based EV company Canoo recently unveiled its latest offering, the MPDV (multipurpose delivery vehicle)—and its faceted form bears more than a passing resemblance to the Tesla Cybertruck. The MPDV is set for full-scale production in 2023 with pricing starting at $33,000—an enticing figure compared to other vehicles in its class.

Canoo's new multi-purpose delivery van has limited availability for 2022, with full-scale production launching in 2023.

"We created our multipurpose delivery vehicle—from the inside out—with the ergonomics of the driver in mind, and with attention to detail to help them be happier and more productive at work," says Canoo’s executive chairman Tony Aquila. "The vehicle is affordable and offers greater cargo capacity than the current electric delivery offerings in its class. We aim to lower the total cost of ownership and increase return on investment for everyone from local small business owners to large fleets."
