Just over a month ago, Peugeot announced that it was aiming to release the e-Partner delivery van in the first half of 2023. Now the company has opened pre-orders of the e-Partner van through its dealer network or via its local website.
The e-Partner is based on Peugeot’s EMP2 (Efficient Modular Platform), boasts a 50kW battery which will deliver up to 245 km of range with every full charge, and pricing will start at $59,990 before on-road costs.
It will begin arriving in Australia in the middle of the year.
“We believe the benefits of the fully electric e-Partner will resonate with Australian consumers seeking a highly capable and efficient workhorse,” Peugeot Australia managing director Kate Gillis said.,
The electric delivery van is also covered with a 8 year/160,000 km battery warranty on top of the 5 year/200,000 km vehicle warranty from Peugeot.
The e-Partner will has a loading capacity of 3.9 cubic meters and an overall length of 4.75 metres. Twin rear-doors can be opened for ease of loading while at depot or unloading goods at a customer site.
Staying on the inside, the cabin has two seats that have a durable grey cloth trim. Along with that, the e-Partner comes with safety and convenience set of technologies to help drivers feel more comfortable in their workspace while on the road:
- Bluetooth® phone connectivity
- Apple CarPlay® and Android AutoTM connectivity(4)
- Autonomous Emergency Braking
- Electronic Stability Program
- Lane Keep Assist
- Speed Sign Recognition
Four colours are on offer which includes the standard Ice white option. Three other metallic options can be had for $690 and include:
- Nera black
- Artense grey
- Platinum grey
More details on the specifications will be released in the coming months as the local deliveries near by June 2023. For now, e-Partner can be pre-ordered on Peugeot Australia’s website or through a Peugeot dealer. The e-Partner is also available on Peugeot’s configurator.
With electric delivery vans and last-mile delivery vehicles starting to arrive in Australia, it would help the logistics and freight industry get on with decarbonising our roads, ensuring cleaner air in our cities and regions.
