ARI 458 Pro flatbed: The compact electric transporter for city, trade and industry


The ARI 458 Pro with pickup body is a consistently practical electric transporter for anyone looking for a robust, compact and economical work vehicle. Whether for inner-city operations, short distances at the depot or daily tasks in the trades and in the municipality - the ARI 458 Pro sees itself less as a lifestyle vehicle and more as an electric tool.


Compact dimensions, big impact


At just 1.49 m wide, 3.82 m long and 1.80 m high, the ARI 458 Pro remains pleasantly manageable. The turning circle of 9.62 m makes it particularly maneuverable - ideal for narrow streets, courtyards or workshops. Despite its compact design, it impresses with a payload of up to 850 kg and therefore real practical value in everyday work.


Flexible flatbed for many areas of application


The standard cargo bed measures 2.0 × 1.40 m with a dropside height of 32 cm and opens on three sides. This makes it easy to access the loading area from the rear or from the side - even with a forklift truck. Other platform sizes (L and XL) and numerous superstructures are also available: tarpaulin, leaf grid, tipper or alternative special solutions. If desired, the ARI 458 Pro can also be configured as a base for sales or service vehicles.


Interior: functional instead of playful


In the cab, the ARI 458 Pro focuses on clarity and robustness. Two seats offer sufficient space, the controls are large and easy to use even when wearing gloves. USB ports, practical storage compartments and a clearly structured instrument display provide all the relevant information - from range to fuel consumption. The focus is deliberately not on luxury details, but on simple operation and suitability for everyday use.


Electric drive for everyday work


The electric rear-wheel drive ensures direct power delivery and rapid acceleration. The ARI 458 Pro is no traffic obstacle, reaching 50 km/h in around 7 seconds. The top speed of 72 km/h makes it suitable for highways, but its real territory remains short-distance and urban traffic. A trailer coupling up to 750 kg is available for additional flexibility.


Two battery options, simple charging infrastructure


Depending on the usage profile, there are two battery variants to choose from: 15 kWh or 23.5 kWh. Charging takes place via a type 2 connection, either overnight at the 230V household socket or at the wallbox. The charging capacity is deliberately designed to be gentle on the battery - suitable for typical use as a work vehicle with predictable downtimes.


Versatile use - economically designed


Whether used by tradesmen, municipal vehicle fleets, agriculture, depots or service operations: the ARI 458 Pro scores points wherever reliability, low operating costs and simple technology count. The raised seating position, the reversing camera fitted as standard and the robust chassis with leaf springs at the rear underline the focus on safety and utility.


Conclusion: Electrical work reduced to the essentials


The ARI 458 Pro with platform body is not a show car - but an honest electric transporter that delivers exactly what is needed in everyday working life. Compact, modular, resilient and electrically powered, it is a well thought-out solution for anyone who wants to work emission-free without sacrificing functionality.
