Citroën: Commercial vehicles for every need

Even the standard models cover every need, from 2,5 to 17 cubic meters of cargo space. Furthermore, anyone can order their own customized commercial vehicle from Citroën – with special bodies or an interior tailored to their needs.

Statistically speaking, every seventh vehicle sold in Europe is a light commercial vehicle. The situation is different with Citroën from: The French every fifth car sold in this segmentOne reason for the popularity of the brand's commercial vehicles is likely the wide range of models. Citroën covers all needs: Nemo, Berlingo First, Berlingo, Jumpy and Jumper offer from the smallest van with 2,5 cubic meters of loading volume to the large van with a volume of 17 cubic meters and a payload of two tons something for everyone.

The French are relying on cooperation, for example through their parent company PSA (Peugeot and Citroën) or additionally with partners such as FiatThe result can also be seen in the passenger car sector, but especially in the commercial vehicle sector. The entire range was developed together with partnersThe models can also be found at the cooperation partners, but they each have their own individual appearance: At Citroën, with the double chevron on the radiator grille. This starts with the Nemo, which is available as the Bipper at Peugeot and the Fiorino at Fiat, and extends to the Jumper, which can be seen as the Boxer or Ducato.

Develop together, sell separately

A disadvantage? Hardly. While the motto is " develop together, sell separately ," which has always carried the risk of sales driven by price and high discounts, 30 years of partnership between PSA and Fiat, for example, have solidified the collaboration, and the cooperation has long since become a model for others. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages , as Stephan Lützenkirchen, Head of Corporate and Commercial Vehicles at Citroën Germany, is convinced. "Firstly, the partners contribute their combined expertise to development; secondly, each partner saves considerable development costs."

Three-figure million-euro sums are the norm in vehicle development – ​​and these are easier to manage in pairs or trios than alone. Furthermore, the final step always involves individualization : "Here, each cooperation partner always adds their own touches, for example in terms of equipment or chassis tuning," explains Lützenkirchen, highlighting how the models ultimately differ from one another . Citroën's roughly ten percent market share in Europe, which makes it one of the leading commercial vehicle manufacturers, demonstrates the trust placed in them by buyers.
