Citroen unveils electric 2CV Fourgonnette concept for light commercial use
Citroen has revealed the 2CV Fourgonnette concept, a modern electric interpretation of its classic commercial van aimed at tradespeople, small businesses and delivery operations. The concept builds on the original model's principles of simplicity, affordability and practical design, reimagined as a light commercial vehicle for contemporary urban logistics. Citroen positions the study as a counterpart to its 2CV passenger concept, emphasising accessible electric mobility and functional design over complexity.
Why it matters
The concept signals potential future demand for simpler, lower cost electric vans in the last mile delivery and small business segments, which could influence charging infrastructure requirements for lighter commercial fleets. If brought to production, such vehicles may drive procurement of lower power, more distributed charging solutions tailored to urban commercial operators.
Citroën targets £12,750 price for 2CV EV concept due in 2028
Citroën has unveiled a 2CV concept at the Paris show previewing a production EV aimed at a €15,000 (£12,750) price point when it launches in two years. The model will use an all new electric platform distinct from the Smart Car architecture underpinning the current C3 and Stellantis's STLA One platform, designed to exploit EU E-car regulations incentivising small EVs. Citroën is targeting a kerb weight of one tonne with a small battery, with the existing e-C3 Urban Range variant's 30kWh lithium iron battery offering a technical reference point.
Why it matters
A sub £13,000 EV entering the UK market in 2028 could significantly expand the addressable customer base for charging infrastructure, particularly in rural and suburban areas where cost sensitive buyers have been priced out of electrification. The lightweight, small battery specification suggests lower power charging requirements that may influence future network planning and site economics for destination and workplace charging operators.
Citroen launches OUTDOOR trim for e-C3 and e-C3 Aircross electric models
Citroen has introduced a new OUTDOOR trim level for its C3 family, including the e-C3 and e-C3 Aircross electric vehicles. The OUTDOOR variant sits above the existing MAX trim as the top specification, featuring rugged styling with new front and rear bumpers, grey protective elements, and LED fog lights on the Aircross models. The trim targets customers seeking adventure oriented design while maintaining the C3 range's comfort and practicality.
Why it matters
This product update is not directly relevant to EV charging procurement or infrastructure development, as it concerns vehicle styling and trim levels rather than charging capabilities or partnerships.
