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.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Image
The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. 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. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
