The Foton iBlue V6 is a fully electric panel van built for urban delivery, e-commerce logistics, and trade use in Singapore. View the Foton iBlue V6 at ABLINK to check availability, body price, and CVES support.


What Is the Foton iBlue V6?

The Foton iBlue V6 is a 100% electric panel van with up to 7.1 m³ of rear cargo space, powered by a CATL lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery. Foton positions it as a cost-efficient diesel-van replacement, particularly for Singapore businesses running daily urban delivery routes. Its closed grille, blue accents, and dedicated EV body mark it as purpose-built for electrification, not converted from a diesel platform.

The iBlue V6 targets couriers, e-commerce fulfilment teams, and tradespeople with moderate daily mileage. Its rear-wheel drive and permanent magnet synchronous motor keep running costs well below a petrol or diesel equivalent. The CATL LFP battery chemistry adds thermal stability and longevity — a practical advantage in Singapore's tropical heat.

How Far Can the iBlue V6 Travel?

The iBlue V6 travels 195 km on the WLTP cycle. Real-world range will fall with heavy payloads, stop-start city traffic, and air-conditioning use in Singapore's climate. For daily routes up to 130–140 km with realistic loads, the iBlue V6 handles a full working day without a mid-route top-up.

Overnight AC charging at a depot takes up to 8 hours for a full charge (20–100%), making it ideal for fleets returning to base nightly. For fleets needing a midday boost, the DC fast charger brings 20–80% in approximately 40 minutes at a public CCS2 charging point.


Payload and Cargo Capacity

The iBlue V6 carries up to 1,200 kg payload — one of the highest figures among electric vans currently sold in Singapore. Its 7.1 m³ rear cargo bay accommodates parcels, light palletised loads, and bulky trade goods. The load compartment spans 3,480 mm in length, 1,540 mm in width, and 1,320 mm in height, with a 5-door layout for easy loading access.

This payload figure is notably higher than the Mercedes eCitan (up to 690 kg) and comparable to the Citroën ë-Dispatch (up to 985 kg), making the iBlue V6 a strong candidate for high-volume last-mile operators on a budget.


Is the iBlue V6 Class 3-Driveable in Singapore?

The iBlue V6 has a Gross Vehicle Weight of 3,150 kg, which sits within the 3,500 kg Class 3 maximum laden weight limit. This means most licensed Class 3 drivers can legally operate the iBlue V6 without an upgraded licence class. It is also HDB parking approved, an important practical advantage for drivers operating in public housing areas.

Always confirm the exact laden weight on the vehicle registration card at delivery, as accessories or body modifications can affect the declared figure. For the full licensing rule, read the Singapore Class 3 EV weight limit guide on ABLINK.


CVES Band A: Does the iBlue V6 Qualify?

Yes. The Foton iBlue V6 is classified under CVES Band A as a fully electric LCV. Band A grants a S$15,000 incentive for vehicles registered before 31 March 2027. Its 3,150 kg GVW sits comfortably within the 3,500 kg CVES eligibility threshold.

The CVES band is fixed at first registration based on emissions classification and vehicle reference mass. Confirm Band A status with LTA before finalising your fleet budget. See the LTA–NEA CVES announcement for official terms. Then check our EV grants stacking guide to see if additional incentives apply to your fleet.


Foton iBlue V6 Price in Singapore

The iBlue V6 body price is S$69,800 (excluding COE), making it one of the most affordable electric cargo vans in Singapore by body price. After applying the S$15,000 CVES Band A rebate, the effective body price falls to S$54,800 before COE.

Add the prevailing COE Category C premium on top of the body price to calculate your total OTR cost. As of recent listings, the total OTR cost including COE and GST is approximately S$150,800. See LTA's vehicle tax structure for how COE fits the total acquisition cost. Request the current body price directly from ABLINK for the latest pricing.

Who Should Buy the Foton iBlue V6?

The iBlue V6 is the right choice for e-commerce, courier, and last-mile fleets covering under 140–150 km daily, needing maximum cargo volume and payload at a competitive body price. Its 7.1 m³ bay and 1,200 kg payload outperform most electric van rivals in Singapore at its price point. Operators chasing CVES savings, lower energy costs, and LFP battery longevity gain the most.

Fleets with heavier payloads above 1,200 kg or daily routes exceeding 170 km should size up to an electric lorry. For broader options, see the EV van Singapore guide or browse the full commercial EV range at ABLINK.
