Scott Michael, Citroen’s Commercial Vehicle Operations Manager, said: “The ‘Citroen Vans - Business Class’ display at this year’s CV Show highlights the strength and depth of our award-winning LCV range.  Making its show debut will be the Euro 5 Nemo van, which offers even better fuel economy, low emissions from just 109g/km, more power and a higher payload.  The focus of our stand is the Enterprise range, which offers real benefits to LCV operators and drivers alike, with their carefully selected additional equipment.  In addition, we will also have high quality Ready to Run conversions including the new Dispatch Crew Van on our stand.”

Euro 5 Nemo
Making its CV Show debut is the Euro 5 Nemo with its more powerful (75hp), higher torque (190Nm), more fuel efficient and even lower emissions (CO2 from just 109g/km) HDi diesel engine.  All Nemo diesel vans benefit from Stop & Start technology to further improve fuel efficiency and to cut CO2 emissions in urban driving.  The Nemo’s Euro 5 HDi engine is also equipped with an efficient, self-regenerating Diesel Particulate Filter System (DPFS) to bring further environmental gains.

The latest addition to the Euro 5 Nemo van range is the HDi 75 EGS Stop & Start 660 LX.  This even more economical and lower emissions model features Citroen’s innovative Electronic Gearbox System (EGS) - an advanced automated manual gearbox, which combines the fuel efficiency of a manual gearbox with the driver benefit of a two pedal automatic.  The Citroen Nemo HDi 75 EGS Stop & Start 660 LX provides even better fuel economy and lower emission figures than the Euro 5 Nemo HDi vans with five-speed manual transmission. CO2emissions for the EGS model are reduced to just 109g/km and its exceptional fuel economy figures are also improved over the equivalent manual transmission van with 60.1mpg Urban (+7.82%), 74.3mpg Extra Urban (unchanged) and 68.9mpg Combined (+4.64%).

In addition, the standard specification of the top of the range Nemo HDi 75 manual Stop & Start 660 Enterprise has been further enhanced with a new dual-function Connecting Box, which combines Bluetoothand USB connectivity, adding to the already standard air conditioning and rear parking sensors.

All new Nemo Euro 5 HDi vans benefit from greater payload, increased by 50kg to 660kg.  The Nemo range also has increased load volume thanks to the Extenso folding passenger seat being fitted as standard.  This allows the passenger seat back to fold horizontally onto the seat cushion, then the whole seat lowers level to the load compartment floor.  This increases the available load volume by 0.3m³ to 2.8m³ and lengthens the load deck alongside the driver by 968mm to 2491mm.

Ultra-versatile Berlingo
The ultra-versatile Berlingo range is unique in the high-cube sector thanks to its wide model choice.  All Berlingo panel vans are also fitted with Trafficmaster Smartnav satellite navigation and Trackstar stolen vehicle tracking as standard for increased security and operational efficiency gains.

No other high-cube van range available in the UK is able to match the Berlingo’s strength in depth.  The range includes two body sizes (3.3m³ to 4.1m³); three payloads (625kg/750kg/850kg); a choice of two and three-seat models; three well equipped trim levels (X, LX and the Enterprise - which comes complete with a Connecting Box featuring Bluetoothand USB connectivity, air conditioning & reverse parking sensors); two diesel engines (75hp & 90hp); a 90hp petrol engine; an enhanced-traction XTR+ van and a five-seat Crew Van.

The Berlingo range also includes a unique platform cab for special bodywork.  In addition to the standard range, the Berlingo is also available with a number of competitively priced Citroen Ready to Run conversions, including dual fuel (petrol/LPG), temperature-controlled and glass carrying vans.

Dispatch versatility
The Citroen Dispatch now offers even more comprehensive cover in the compact panel van sector, thanks to the newly launched six-seat Crew Van conversion by CoTrim.  Today, the Dispatch range includes panel vans with a choice of two load lengths (2254mm & 2584mm); two internal load heights (1449mm & 1750mm); three payloads (988kg, 1163kg & 1188kg); two diesel engines (90hp & 120hp) and two trim levels - including Enterprise models withConnecting Box (Bluetooth& USB connectivity), air conditioning, reverse parking sensors and a full steel bulkhead as standard.  All Dispatch panel vans also have three-seat cabs and twin sliding side load doors as standard.

Unique to this sector, all Dispatch panel vans are fitted as standard with Trafficmaster Smartnav satellite navigation and Trackstar stolen vehicle tracking.  The Dispatch range also includes up to nine-seat Combi models,the enhanced-traction XTR+ van and a platform cab for special bodywork.

Relay’s unrivalled choice
The Citroen Relay is the well-equipped and consummate all-rounder in the 3.0 - 4.05 tonne GVW sector.

Recent changes have put the Relay range further ahead of its competitors, with Trafficmaster satellite navigation and Trackstar stolen vehicle tracking standard fitment on all panel van models.  Citroen has also introduced two Relay Enterprise models with Bluetooth, air conditioning, reverse parking sensors and a full steel bulkhead as standard.

The Relay range includes panel vans, chassis cabs and chassis crew cabs.  A range of specialist versions - with full Citroen warranty - includes tipper, dropside and Luton vans.  In addition, there is the UK’s widest range of competitively priced, top specification award-winning Relay Ready to Run models, which include minibuses, glass carriers and temperature-controlled vans.

Relay panel vans are available in four gross vehicle weights, three roof heights and four lengths, with load volumes ranging from 8m³ through to a massive 17m³.  Payloads range from 1155kg up to 1995kg.
