EXCLUSIVE: World premiere of Kia’s PV5 takes place in Spain
On February 24, 2025, Kia unveiled the PV5 electric van at the Kia EV Day in Tarragona, Spain – and we were the only South African magazine invited to witness this game-changing moment firsthand!
Why is the PV5 launch a seriously big deal? Kia is making a bold leap into the van market with its first-ever dedicated electric van. Built on the E-GMP.S platform, the PV5 is the first production model to emerge from Kia’s much-publicised Platform Beyond Vehicle (PBV) strategy.
🚚 Key highlights from the launch:
✅ Multiple configurations – Passenger, Cargo, Chassis Cab, Crew Van, Freezer Box, Camper & more
✅ Up to 400km range with fast-charging (10-80% in just 30 minutes)
✅ Game-changing modular design – Upper body modules can be swapped to fit different business needs
✅ Innovative wheelchair-accessible variant with side entry
✅ V2L technology – Power tools & appliances directly from the van
Sales start later this year in Korea & Europe, with a global rollout planned for 2026. The South African launch date has yet to be confirmed.

💡 Wondering about the maximum legal load for a

💡 Wondering about the maximum legal load for a flat deck link pulled by a 6x2 single drive axle truck tractor? It’s more complex than you might think!

A FOCUS reader recently asked this, and Kevin van der Merwe from the Road Freight Association (RFA) breaks it down. 📝

To calculate the max payload, factors like the unladen mass, permissible maximum mass, engine power, and even the drive axle’s mass are critical. Simply adding up tare masses won’t do! 🚛⚖️

Want to dive into the full explanation? Check out the latest FOCUS, and calculate your truck’s load the right way! You can download the magazine for free here: https://buff.ly/3UiROg8
