The conversion to

includes main deck front cargo door; cargo handling system; floor
reinforcement; Rigid Cargo Barrier (RCB) 9G Barrier with access
door; cargo smoke detection system (class E main deck cargo
compartment), Air Management System changes (cooling,
pressurization, etc.); interior removal and provisions for
hazardous material transportation.
Combining
under-floor bulk cargo and main deck, the maximum gross structural
payload is 13,150kg for the E190F and 14,300kg for the E195F.
Considering typical e-commerce cargo density, the net weights and
volumes are also impressive - the E190F can handle a payload of
23,600lb (10,700kg) while the E195F a payload of 27,100 lb (12,300
kg).
The E-Jets freighters
will have over 50% more volume capacity, three times the range of
