Citroen, Fiat, Peugeot move up a size with new compact vans

The next generation of the Citroen Dispatch, Fiat Scudo and Peugeot Expert compact panel vans was unveiled yesterday. Unlike the previous single-size generation, the newcomers, which share the same names, will be available with two roof height and two body length versions. While GVWs are being kept a closely guarded secret at the moment, payloads between 1,000 and 1,200kg are claimed, moving the range firmly into competition with the likes of the Volkswagen Transporter and Mercedes-Benz Vito. Three engines, rated at 90, 120 and 136hp are fitted, and a wide range of options including air suspension are on offer. Expect sales to begin in the New Year.
