Nextem Vaquita

As cities increasingly adopt cleaner and more efficient mobility solutions, the Vaquita is one of several compact electric commercial vehicles developed to address these needs. It is produced by Nextem and intended primarily for use in dense urban environments.

The Vaquita is a small, fully electric commercial vehicle designed for city operation. Its dimensions and tight turning radius allow it to operate on narrow streets and in restricted areas, while its electric drivetrain enables quiet, zero-emission use.

Energy is supplied by a lithium battery with a range of up to 150 km, which can be fully recharged in approximately six hours. The vehicle has a payload capacity of up to 630 kg, a maximum speed of 80 km/h, and the ability to climb gradients of up to 20 percent. It is road-approved and can be driven with a standard category B driving license.

A key feature of the Vaquita is its modular cargo box, which allows the vehicle to be configured for different professional applications. In food service, it can be equipped as a small mobile kitchen or beverage unit.

For cleaning and maintenance work, dedicated modules support tasks such as washing, waste collection, and urban sanitation, making it suitable for use by municipalities, hotels, or residential complexes. Its compact size is particularly relevant in areas where space constraints limit the use of larger vans.

The vehicle can also be adapted for retail activities, mobile services, and door-to-door operations. One of its primary use cases is urban logistics and last-mile delivery, where different cargo box heights or open-side configurations can be selected depending on operational requirements.

From an operational perspective, the electric drivetrain results in lower energy and maintenance demands compared to conventional combustion vehicles. The absence of exhaust emissions and low noise levels are relevant in city centers and regulated urban zones.

Overall, the Vaquita is a compact, electric, and modular commercial vehicle designed for a range of urban tasks, including logistics, food service, cleaning, and mobile commerce. Its design reflects the practical constraints and requirements of modern city environments.
