No. Hint: there was no manufacturer.

Because it's not an actual vehicle but it's a photomontage ?

It is an actual vehicle, for a very specific purpose.

Just to cover a possibility, Harrods had a fleet of electric delivery vans so perhaps this is a prototype.
Opinionated but sometimes wrong

Not made by a company, not home-built, not built by a university. But someone had to build it at some point !

Was it built by a group of people ?

Sort of. Built by an association for a very specific purpose.

Sort of. Because the year and circumstances it was also inspected by the army though it was not built for them

Was it built to deliver a specific type of objects ?

So it must have been built during WW2.
Was it built to inspect underground bunkers (hence it needed to be electric)?

Of all the guesses this is the closest. Let me lock it for you.
Don't focus on the type of object, just follow this line of thought

Thanks for the lock, even though I still haven't got much clue how to solve this mystery !

Is the cargo area meant to be closed when in use ? Or is it relevant that the sides are fully open in this picture (in order to carry very wide objects maybe) ?

hmm, how to help you?

So we know this was built to deliver objects. It was built during WW2. And it was electric.

The question you need to ask yourself: why would an organisation build such a vehicle during WW2? And which organisation?
