New Citroen Jumpy & Peugeot Expert
PSA has released all the details about
their new commercial vans, the Citroen Jumpy and the Peugeot Expert. Based on the company’s new modular EMP2
platform, both new models are scheduled to go on sale in Europe from June 2016.
Offered in three different body lengths
(4.6m-4.95m-5.3m), the new Peugeot Expert and Citroen Jumpy offer the same
options to professionals as with their sister car, the new Toyota Proace Van.
Featuring innovations like hands-free
sliding side doors, a new modular system for the cargo space, Active Safety
Brake and connected 3D navigation using a voice-controlled tablet, the new LCVs
want to continue leading their market segment in Europe.
The new platform also means a lighter
construction of between 100 kg and 150 kg, depending on the engine. Speaking of
which, the new Citroen Jumpy and Peugeot Expert are going to be available with
5 diesel engines ranging from 95 hp to 180 hp and three gearbox options (manual,
robotized manual and automatic).
