Electrification is underway at Peugeot and more generally within the PSA group. After the 100% electric version of the new 208, it is a utility van, Peugeot e-Expert, that takes the path of the zero-emission propulsion.
Like Opel Vivaro-e and Citroën e-Jumpy, it will use the EMP2 (Efficient Modular Platform) multi-energy modular platform. Peugeot e-Expert will offer up to 330 km of range. The Peugeot e-Expert, produced in Valenciennes, delivers a maximum power of 100kw (134Hp) and a torque up to 260 Nm.
Peugeot announces the following performances: a maximum speed of 130 km / h and accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 13.1 seconds.
In terms of autonomy, Peugeot's offer allows customers to choose between two batteries: 50kWh or 75 kWh. The smaller of the two allows this utility van to have a range of 230 km, the bigger offers a range of 330 km.
Regarding the look, this 100% Peugeot e-Expert electric will look like its thermal counterpart and will be just as modular. Three lengths are available: 4.61 meters, 4.96 meters, and 5.31 meters; payload volume: up to 6.6 m3.
