The Peugeot e-Expert is coming

At the end of last year, Peugeot announced its plans to release an all-electric version of the Peugeot Expert van. With the new electric van set to launch in the second half of this year, here is everything you need to know about the Peugeot e-Expert ahead of its upcoming release.

A bestselling van - electrified

The Peugeot e-Expert is an all-electric version of the popular Peugeot van of the same name. The Peugeot Expert is a mid-sized panel van that comes with a wealth of features designed to support your everyday business needs. The new electric version of the Peugeot Expert will come with all the same great functionality, only it will run on electric power only.

The new Peugeot e-Expert will be based on PSA’s EMP2 platform, and the vehicle will come with a choice of two battery sizes. A 50kWh unit will offer drivers a maximum WLTP range of 125 miles, while the higher end 75kWh unit will be able to take you up to 186 miles on a single charge - an additional 61 miles compared to the standard battery.

Moving towards an electric future

The Peugeot e-Expert is part of the French manufacturer’s plans to electrify its range. The brand has announced plans to offer a fully electric version of every vehicle in its entire light commercial vehicle range by the end of next year, and the new electric e-Expert van is a step towards reaching that goal. As a fully electric vehicle, the Peugeot e-Expert van offers an emission free drive, so businesses can operate more sustainably and more efficiently. As well as providing a cleaner drive, the zero emissions power supply on the e-Expert means owners can benefit from low running costs.

Same great style

As with the regular Peugeot Expert van, owners can expect the same great style on the exterior of the e-Expert van while enjoying the new, all-electric power. Design features on the new Peugeot e-Expert include bumpers coloured to match the body paintwork, LED daytime running lights, a redesigned radiator grille on the front of the van and alloy wheels as an optional add-on. The charging port will be the main noticeable difference on the exterior of the e-Expert van and will be found on the front nearside wing of the vehicle.

Convenience and comfort

The design isn’t the only similarity between the current Peugeot Expert van and the new Peugeot e-Expert van that is coming out this year. Aside from the e-Expert’s electric power and ultra efficient driving performance, it shares much of its technology with the popular Expert van. Drivers can benefit from added comfort and convenience thanks to the van’s built-in technology and functionality-focused equipment, including the cruise control technology, automatic headlamps and a speed limiter. You can also expect to find rain sensing wipers to keep visibility high in all weather. Peugeot’s Grip Control technology will also be available as an optional extra on the Peugeot e-Expert van, just as it is currently on the standard Peugeot Expert.
