PEUGEOT Australia is set to take the next steps on its electrification journey with the confirmed arrival of the PEUGEOT e-PARTNER Van, due to land in H1, 2023.
The popular Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) will mark the brand's first fully Electric Vehicle on sale in Australia and signifies the further progression towards PEUGEOT's local commitment of offering electrified variants across LCV, Passenger and SUV models.
The PEUGEOT Australia LCV range consists of the PARTNER, EXPERT and BOXER models. The PARTNER is PEUGEOT's smallest van, currently available in two distinct body lengths (short-wheelbase and long-wheelbase). The e-PARTNER will be introduced locally as one long-wheelbase variant.
Based on the EMP2 (Efficient Modular Platform) multi-energy modular platform, the PEUGEOT e-PARTNER offers a 100% electric engine with a maximum power output of 100 kW and a maximum torque of 260 Nm. The e-PARTNER is available with a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 50kWh.
Kate Gillis, Managing Director PEUGEOT Australia, commented: "We are delighted to announce the e-PARTNER is on its way to Australia and will be our first fully electric vehicle to be offered locally. The launch of the e-PARTNER will build on our electrified range in Australia that currently consists of the 3008 SUV and 508 GT Fastback plug-in hybrid variants and will soon welcome the 308 GT Sport Hatch and 508 GT Sportswagon plug-in hybrid variants.
"We are confident that the arrival of our first electric vehicle will provide new avenues for growth for the brand as well as further choice for discerning PEUGEOT LCV customers wanting to make the move to electric."
Providing a workspace that helps make everyday life easier, the new PEUGEOT e-PARTNER retains the muscular, robust style of the combustion versions and distinctive PEUGEOT design features throughout.
Full Australian specifications and pricing will be released closer to the on-sale date.
