Peugeot Partner Electric

Peugeot has announced plans to launch an electric version of the Partner van.

Called, unsurprisingly, the Partner Electric, its drivetrain has been developed in co-operation with Mitsubishi.

Power comes from a 65 bhp (49 kW / 67 PS) electric motor that develops 200 Nm (147 lb/ft) of instantly-available torque. Current is provided by a pair of 22.5 kWh lithium-ion battery packs, which are expected to provide a range of 105 miles (170 km) according to the NEDC test method.

The batteries, which are housed beneath the body to leave cargo space unaffected, take between six and nine hours to fully recharge. Alternatively, 80 per cent capacity can be achieved in just half an hour using the quick-charge mode. Top-ups are also available on the move, thanks to a kinetic energy recovery system that works when the vehicle is decelerating or braking.

Sales of the Peugeot Partner Electric are due to begin during the second quarter of 2013. Offered in a choice of 4.38 m (14’ 4”) or 4.63 m (15’ 2”) lengths, it will be built at the Vigo plant in Spain.
