Pure-electric Citroën e-Jumper van unveiled
An increasing number of city-centre clean air zones is likely to fuel demand for larger electric delivery vehicles. The new Citroën e-Jumper – which will be renamed e-Relay for the UK and Ireland – has been developed to meet precisely that need.
As might be expected, its specifications are similar to those of the recently-launched Fiat E-Ducato. Power is provided by an electric motor that sends 128 bhp (96 kW / 130 PS) and 260 Nm (191 lb-ft) of torque via a single-speed transmission.
Acceleration times haven’t been released, but top speed is restricted to 68 mph (110 km/h) for 3.5-tonne gross vehicle weight versions, or just 55 mph (90 km/h) if the GVW is 4.0 tonnes.
The e-Jumper / e-Relay is going to be offered in panel van, chassis cab, chassis double-cab and platform cab guises, with plenty of different size choices. For example, the panel van is variously available in three wheelbases, four lengths and three heights.
Short- and medium-wheelbase models have a 37 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. That capacity is sufficient for a provisional WLTP range of 124 miles (200 kilometres). While Citroën is being rather vague on whether such a distance is achieved on the Combined cycle or less arduous City cycle, it’s probably the latter.
By contrast, long-wheelbase variants benefit from 70 kWh of energy storage. Consequently, their range figure improves by a considerable margin to a claimed 211 miles (340 kilometres).
Keeping track of the battery state should be very easy, because a clever bit of technology displays the charge level and other parameters on the glass of the inside rear-view mirror.
Deliveries of the e-Jumper / e-Relay are scheduled to begin later this year. Prices have yet to be announced, though.
