Citroën has completed its core range of 100% electric light commercial vehicle (LCV) models with all models now available to order. The full range, New Citroën ë-Berlingo Van, mid-size ë-Dispatch and large, new ë-Relay Electric van ranges are all available to order now as part of Citroën's electrification strategy focused on providing an electrified variant of each of its vans by the end of 2021, and each car by 2025.

The first e-LCV model to launch from the brand was Citroën ë-Dispatch Electric, launched back in 2020, followed by new ë-Relay Electric that arrived in UK showrooms in August. Both models will be joined by new Citroën ë-Berlingo Van Electric that opened for order at the end of August, completing the electric line up.

With a broad range of battery sizes, as well as vehicle lengths and body styles, Citroën's ë-LCV line up provides fleet and business operators looking to go green with a wealth of options. Drivers are also able to make financial savings switching over to an e-LCV, as each of the three models are exempt from current ultra-low emission and congestion charge payments.

Alongside the Citroën ë-LCV range, an electric quadricycle, the new Ami Cargo Electric will also become available in 2022, as a 'last mile' delivery solution in urban areas with a payload of up to 140kg and a maximum load capacity of 400 litres. The model is 2.41m long, 1.39m wide and 1.52m tall, and has a tight turning circle of just 7.20m, ideal for city driving, manoeuvres and parking. New Ami Cargo Electric features a 5.5kWh Lithium-Ion battery pack, connected to a 6kW electric motor for 100% emissions-free driving. The vehicle can be fully charged in just three hours and is capable of up to 46 miles of range.

The mid-size Citroën ë-Dispatch Electric is available with either a 50kWh or 75kWh battery, offering up to 205 miles (WLTP) of range from a single charge. Available in a choice of two trim levels ('Enterprise Pro' and 'Driver Pro') and three lengths ('XS', 'M' and 'XL'), the van provides drivers with a maximum load volume of 6.6m3, thanks to the Moduwork® front passenger seat that allows longer items to be carried, and a payload of up to 1,002kg. ë-Dispatch Electric supports up to 100kW rapid charging, with an 80% re-charge taking just 30 minutes on 50kWh versions and 45 minutes on 75kWh models.
