The BYD E-Vali, a recently launched electric commercial van, has earned a five-star safety rating from Euro NCAP, a leading independent safety assessment organization. The results, revealed in December 2025, highlight the vehicle’s strong performance across key safety categories, solidifying its position as a competitive offering in the European and Central Asian markets.

Comprehensive Safety Evaluation
Euro NCAP’s evaluation focused on three critical areas: safe driving assistance, crash avoidance capabilities, and post-crash protection. The E-Vali performed well in all segments, demonstrating a commitment to driver and pedestrian safety. This is significant because commercial vans are often driven long distances and in varied conditions, making robust safety features particularly important.
Safe Driving & Assistance Systems
The E-Vali is equipped with a suite of advanced safety technologies, including speed assistance, driver monitoring, and standard-fit airbags for both front occupants. A seatbelt reminder system adds another layer of protection. The vehicle scored 62% in the safe driving category, largely due to these active safety features.
Crash Avoidance Prowess
The van excels in crash avoidance, achieving a remarkable 91% score. This is thanks to its standard-fit autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system, paired with front collision warning (FCW). Euro NCAP testers confirmed the systems react effectively to pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles, even protecting those behind the van. Additional features such as lane support and speed assistance further enhance its collision avoidance capabilities.
Post-Crash Safety & Rescue Considerations
The E-Vali received an 80% score in post-crash safety, indicating good occupant protection in the event of an accident. The vehicle includes a rescue sheet and guide to aid emergency responders. However, it lacks advanced e-Call functionality and received zero points for occupant extrication, suggesting potential challenges for first responders in certain scenarios.
Vehicle Specifications & Performance
The BYD E-Vali is available in two variants: a 3.5-ton standard wheelbase model (5,995 mm long) and a 4.25-ton long wheelbase version (6,995 mm long). Both models are powered by an 80.64 kWh BYD Blade Battery, providing a range of 220–250 km (WTLP). The van’s 150 kW (201 hp) electric motor allows for rapid charging: from 10% to 80% in just 30 minutes. Inside, the cabin features a large touchscreen and physical controls, along with smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The E-Vali’s combination of high safety ratings, competitive performance, and modern features positions it as a strong contender in the growing electric commercial vehicle segment.
The five-star Euro NCAP rating proves BYD’s commitment to safety, not just in passenger cars but also in commercial vehicles. This is crucial for building trust among fleet operators and individual business owners alike.
