Buying a new car has traditionally meant locking in whatever technology it launched with. Updates only came with a facelift or the next model cycle. The Deepal E07 multitruck changes that rule — and Fleet Managers need to take note.
This isn’t just a big electric SUV with a clever ute-style tailgate. It’s also a vehicle built on a super-digital architecturethat allows it to evolve through over-the-air (OTA) updates during the ownership cycle.
For fleets, that means the car you buy today will not be the same car you own three years down the line — it should be better.
Smarter Over Time
Like your smartphone, the E07 can receive new features, improvements, and refinements remotely. Software updates are pushed directly to the vehicle, upgrading systems such as driver assistance, infotainment, battery management, and efficiency.
This is more than a gimmick. It means fleets can expect:
- Improved ADAS features – updated algorithms and calibrations to improve safety and convenience.
- Battery management upgrades – extending range and improving charging profiles.
- Infotainment enhancements – new apps, smoother connectivity, and better user experiences.
- Bug fixes and refinements – without downtime in a workshop.
For fleet managers, OTA updates reduce disruption and keep the vehicle modern, even years into its lifecycle. It’s a shift from static ownership to dynamic capability growth.
ADAS Calibrated for Australian Roads
One of the biggest concerns for fleets introducing new EV brands is whether advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) will work properly in local conditions. Deepal has tackled that head-on.
The E07’s ADAS — which includes adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, traffic sign recognition, and collision warning— has been recalibrated through 50,000km of local testing across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and beyond.
That local tuning ensures:
- Traffic sign recognition works in all light conditions, from bright outback sun to suburban streetlights.
- Driver assistance systems are adapted to local road markings, which can differ from overseas standards.
- Calibration reflects Australian driving habits and conditions, making the systems feel natural, not intrusive.
Crucially, if a driver prefers fewer interventions, the settings can be turned off — and the car remembers them next time.
What Fleets Need to Know
The Deepal E07 represents a new type of fleet vehicle. Instead of planning around static capabilities, managers now need to consider:
- Update cycles – Just as you plan IT patching or phone updates, fleets will need to monitor OTA releases.
- Driver training – Features may change or improve over time, so refresher training may be needed.
- Policy updates – Fleet policies should allow for technology that evolves, especially with ADAS systems.
- Residual values – Vehicles that receive meaningful upgrades over time may hold stronger resale appeal.
For novated lease buyers, this adds another attraction: your car stays current for longer, so it won’t feel outdated mid-lease.
The Deepal E07 isn’t just another EV. Its ability to update, adapt, and improve makes it a smarter choice for forward-thinking fleets. Combined with ADAS tuned for Australian conditions, it shows that the brand isn’t just launching here — it’s tailoring its vehicles for local roads and drivers.
For Fleet Managers, the takeaway is clear: the vehicles you buy today may look the same tomorrow, but under the skin, they’ll keep getting better. The E07 multitruck proves the fleet journey to electrification doesn’t end at delivery — it evolves with every update.
