Citroën, Peugeot and Toyota create a new van

In late 2012, PSA Peugeot Citroën and Toyota formed a partnership to build light commercial vehicles in Europe. The latest product of that collaboration is a new mid-size van which will be marketed as the Citroën SpaceTourer, Peugeot Traveller and Toyota ProAce.

When sales begin next year they'll be offered in MPV, shuttle bus and panel van guises. Technical specifications, capacities and dimensions are yet to be announced, but the overall proportions seem to have been strongly influenced by the Volkswagen Transporter.

Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle.
