Citroën cruises ahead with the ë-Berlingo
Citroen is taking the lead within the PSA Group and has announced further details for the ë-Berlingo following an initial announcement at the European level. However, the fully electric version of the city van is not expected to hit the market until the fourth quarter of the year. The 2.3-ton vehicle will then, as expected and previously indicated, feature the E-drive package from the group. With a 50 kWh battery (gross capacity), the city van should be able to travel up to 275 kilometers according to WLTP standards emission-free, before being fully recharged using an AC charger with 7.4 or optionally 11 kW in seven and a half or five hours, respectively.
Unlike initially communicated, the 100-kW DC charger, which is also installed in the larger PSA vans and passenger cars with electric drive, will also be on board in Germany. This means that 80 percent of the battery capacity can be restored in half an hour. The manufacturer provides the usual eight-year warranty on 70 percent of the capacity over 160,000 kilometers for the energy storage.
Quick Drive, up to 800 Kilograms Payload
The 100-kW electric motor with 260 Nm of torque should have no problems in the compact, 1.84-meter-high van, even with a full load of up to 800 kilograms payload, providing swift and quiet propulsion through the front wheels. Also available for the electric version is the cabin extension named "Extenso," with a modular folding passenger seat and through-loading capability for freight up to 3.09 or 3.44 meters long. In terms of load volume, the van offers the same 3.3 to 4.4 cubic meters as the conventional versions. The vehicle can also tow a maximum of 750 kilograms, and thanks to a foldable seat bench that can optionally be used as a desk, two passengers can ride along. For practical reasons, the top speed is limited to 130 km/h.
Modern Driver Assistance and Charging Infrastructure Support
In addition to a keyless system and hill start assist, the electric small transporter also features a lane-keeping assistant, a reverse camera with radar sensors, a blind spot assistant, active safety brake, and hill descent assist with intelligent traction control. Additionally, there is an optional colorful head-up display and an overload indicator. An electric parking brake is always on board, and a customizable, high-resolution 10-inch instrument cluster is optionally available.
The manufacturer, in collaboration with its partner company inno2grid, offers the installation of a custom charging station for home or workplace use. Through the so-called MyCitroën App, the customer can also check the battery's charge status and range, as well as program the interior temperature before departure and set timed charging schedules. Additionally, the Free2Move Services App 3 allows access to what is claimed to be the largest network of public charging stations in Europe, with more than 220,000 charging points.
State-of-the-Art Connectivity
The manufacturer also points to its well-known connectivity solutions. If airbags are deployed, the vehicle automatically places an emergency call and forwards the location. In case of a minor collision or if a passenger feels unwell, pressing the red SOS button is enough to be connected to emergency services. The navigation system Connect Nav offers real-time traffic conditions through connected services like TomTom Traffic. Charging stations including electricity prices, parking garages with corresponding fees, weather forecasts, and local points of interest can also be displayed. Naturally, it also includes connectivity via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Complete Portfolio of E-Transporters
Following the ë-Jumpy and ë-Jumper, the ë-Berlingo van completes Citroën's electric commercial vehicle trio, aiming to realize a full range of electric vans by the end of the year. The identical vehicle will also be available from Peugeot as Partner, from Opel as Combo, and from Toyota as Proace City. Prices have not yet been set, but they are expected to be around 25,000 euros, slightly above the top diesel model with 130 PS and an eight-speed automatic transmission (23,000 euros net).
