The PSA Group presents the electric Citroën Jumper and Peugeot Boxer

The market of Commercial Vehicles It is very important in the European continent. Its leadership, for some years, has been in the hands of an American manufacturer: Ford Motor Company. Still, there are three consortiums fighting tooth and nail to steal sales and market share. On the one hand there is the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, on the other the FCA Group and the third in discord is the PSA Group.

In fact, and despite its scant repercussion in the general media, industrial vehicles have their own show calendar. Now, there has been Birmingham Commercial Vehicle Show and in it, we have known two important novelties. Both have electricity in their sights and how could it be otherwise, they are paid by the PSA Group.

The Citroen Jumper Electric y Peugeot Boxer Electric They have seen the light in several versions. According to the note published by the French consortium, both models will arrive with two levels of autonomy. It will be of 225 kilometers for the L1 and L2 and 270 kilometers for L3 and L4. The homologation of these data has been executed with the NEDC regulation, so following the WLTP it will be less.

La power of the powertrain has not been declared by the PSA Group. The capacity of your batteries, as well as the time required for its recharge either. However, they have taken the opportunity to announce more versions powered by electricity. The Citroën Jumpy y spacetourer, Peugeot Expert and Traveler along with the Opel Vivaro Cargo and Vivaro Life, will have this powertrain from 2020.

En 2021 that Citroën Berlingo, Peugeot Rifter and Vauxhall Combo Life They will have their version powered by batteries. All in all, it remains to be seen if the FCA Group, a partner of PSA, decides to include this novelty in its Fiat Ducato. For now, Renault and Ford are far ahead of the French consortium in this matter. It will be necessary to see how the market receives them, because although its approach is good, its autonomy, and price, it is not operational for many companies.
