Advanced Materials for a Modern Electric Van

The Morris JE has been engineered from the ground up with sustainability, efficiency, and innovation at its core – and the materials chosen for its construction play a defining role in achieving those values. Every element has been carefully considered to balance strength, durability, and environmental responsibility, ensuring the JE is as forward-thinking in design as it is in performance.

At the heart of the vehicle is its complete recycled carbon fibre body. This lightweight yet remarkably strong material sets the Morris JE apart, offering a combination of performance and sustainability rarely seen in the commercial vehicle sector. Using recycled carbon fibre not only reduces emissions associated with production but also supports a circular economy, minimising waste and reusing valuable resources. Its strength ensures long-lasting durability, while its lightness dramatically improves the power-to-weight ratio – enhancing efficiency, extending range, and maximising payload.

Complementing this body is a full aluminium chassis, developed entirely in-house by the Morris Commercial engineering team. Built on a modern skateboard platform, the chassis integrates batteries and drivetrain components efficiently while optimising weight distribution and cabin space. Aluminium contributes to both rigidity and reduced mass, improving handling, energy efficiency, and overall vehicle safety.

Together, these advanced materials make the Morris JE the lightest electric vehicle in its class – a vital achievement that translates into tangible benefits for businesses and drivers alike. With lower running costs, improved range, and exceptional payload capacity, the JE proves that lightweight construction and robust performance can go hand in hand.

This intelligent blend of recycled carbon fibre and aluminium engineering exemplifies Morris Commercial’s commitment to a cleaner, smarter transport future. The Morris JE isn’t just responsibly built – it’s a bold step forward for sustainable British vehicle manufacturing.
