Xavier Peugeot, head of light commercial vehicles, said: “PSA is pushing ahead with the electrification of its LCV range by offering electric versions of compact vans for business and individual customers. Without compromising on features, the range will help strengthen our leadership in this segment in Europe. In 2021, our entire range of LCVs and their passenger car equivalents will be electrified.”
Since 2019, all new models launched by Groupe PSA come with either all-electric or plug-in hybrid powertrains. The aim is for the group’s entire passenger car and LCV range to be electrified by 2025.
PSA claims to lead the LCV segment in Europe, with a 24.7% market share in the first half of 2019. The new EVs, in both LCVs and people carrier versions, will allow additional market share in their segments.
The electric versions of the four brands’ compact vans will be assembled at the Hordain plant in northern France and equipped with electric powertrains assembled at Tremery plant in the country’s east.
