Yes. The PBV was conceived from the start for a wide range of uses. You can choose the body and specifications that suit your purpose — passenger transport, logistics delivery, leisure, and more. With Easy Swap* technology, planned for future application, the front cabin stays in place while only the rear body is swapped, for a quick switch between passenger, cargo, and other setups.

*Easy Swap is currently under advanced development, with commercialization under review for around 2030. Timing and specifications are subject to change.

PBV’s Flexible Body System brings a wide range of body specifications onto a single production line. Designed with a modular, building-block approach, it changes only the components that differ by body type, improving both development and manufacturing efficiency. This makes it possible to offer vehicles tailored to a wide range of customer needs, including Passenger, Cargo Standard, Cargo Long, and Cargo High Roof models*.

*Cargo Long and Cargo High Roof are body variants within the PV5 lineup.

PBV is developed with sustainability in mind, from the manufacturing process to the materials used throughout the vehicle. Its interior incorporates recyclable materials and eco-friendly TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) flooring, while the use of sustainable materials continues to expand to support resource circularity. In addition, PBV is produced at a dedicated plant equipped with a smart manufacturing system that helps reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions, enabling more environmentally responsible vehicle production.
