All of the firm’s electric vans also receive a new 400V power-take-off system, allowing electricity to be drawn from their traction batteries, rather than requiring a separate source.
Amid the technical upgrade, the interior and exterior styling of each van has also been updated to better reflect each brand’s prevailing design identity.
Citroën’s new oval-shaped logo has been grafted onto the faces of its vans and the mid-sized Dispatch receives three-pronged LED headlights inspired by the Oli electric car concept. Inside, each van receives the brand’s ‘comfort’ seats.
Fiat’s vans, meanwhile, receive clean-cut surfaces with large ‘Fiat’ wordmarks. The four-bar logo – used on its passenger cars between 1968 and 2003 – also makes a cameo on each model’s grille.
Peugeot’s vans receive a flush, sealed-off grille and the lion’s-head brand identity unveiled in 2021. The interior of each uses Peugeot’s i-Cockpit interior design, which pairs a high-set instrument panel with a small steering wheel.
The Opel/Vauxhall vans receive the Vizor grille, with a glossy black bar running along the front, interlinking the ‘Compass’ LED headlights. These can be upgraded to matrix units, which automatically partially dim to avoid dazzling oncoming traffic.
