The Peugeot e-Expert was named International Van of the Year

 The new Peugeot e-Expert has been named 'International Van of The Year 2021'. The new Peugeot e-Expert is the first LCV offering to come as part of Peugeot's commitment to providing a fully electrified LCV range by the end of 2021. This is the sixth Peugeot vehicle awarded the prestigious International Van of The Year trophy since the awards began in 1992.

The e-Expert was named International Van of the Year by judges from 25 countries and is the first time a fully electric van has won the title. The International Van of the Year award is one of the most sought-after awards in the LCV sector.

Judges praised the Peugeot e-Expert for its excellent zero-emissions range, load capacity and high levels of technology onboard.

The new 100% electric Peugeot e-Expert van comes in three-vehicle lengths – Compact, Standard and Long – and is available with either 50kWh or 75kWh batteries providing a range of up to 205 miles under WLTP tests. 

The Peugeot e-Expert has a maximum towing capacity of 1,000kg. With a payload of up to 1,226kg and a 6.6 m3 load capacity, the new model suits various business and personal usage needs.

Based on the EMP2 (Efficient Modular Platform) multi-energy modular platform, the new Peugeot e-Expert offers a maximum power of 100 KW and a maximum torque of 260 Nm.

This is the sixth time the Peugeot label has won the International Van of the Year prize, with past models including the PEUGEOT Boxer in 1994, Peugeot Expert in 2008 and PEUGEOT Partner 2019.

David Peel, Managing Director of Peugeot UK, said: "I am overwhelmed to hear that the new Peugeot e-Expert has been named as the International Van of the Year. Our first LCV offering has come as part of our strategy to provide a fully electrified LCV range by the end of 2021, so it is great to see that all the hard work and product developments are paying off. We would like to thank the team behind the International Van of the Year awards for their continued support, and we hope to be able to continue to impress both the industry experts and UK drivers with our LCV models."

The exterior of the Peugeot e-Expert is enhanced by eye-catching features such as Dichroic Lions at the front and rear, which change colour depending on the angle of view, a load hatch on the left front wing, recognisable front grille, and "e-Expert" monogram signature on the rear.

Inside, features include an analogue handset with a colour matrix adapted to the electrical system, a new "e-Toggle" automatic gearbox control, electric parking brake, and new Peugeot e-Expert-specific graphics for the central touch screen. The new internal system also comes with TomTom Traffic 3D Connected Navigation, which now includes the available charging points and the range according to the remaining autonomy.

The Peugeot e-Expert's driving mode selector switch allows drivers to navigate between three modes:

  • Eco (60 kW, 190 Nm): promotes autonomy,
  • Normal (80 kW, 210 Nm): optimal for everyday use,
  • Power (100 kW, 260 Nm): optimises performance when transporting heavy loads

The batteries of the Peugeot e-Expert are located under the floor, allowing for heightened rigidity, ensuring driving pleasure and enjoyment just like with the internal combustion versions, thanks to optimal weight distribution.

The new Peugeot e-Expert comes with a specially adapted power steering system that makes driving easier, a turning circle diameter of 11.3m (Compact version between kerbs) and a height limited to 1.90m (depending on the version) that guarantees access to most car parks.

The new Peugeot e-EXPERT comes in the same lengths as the internal combustion engine versions to meet all uses: 3 lengths: Compact 4.6m, Standard 4.95m and Long 5.30m.

Modularity continues to set the standard in the segment with the Moduwork 3-seater bench, thanks to the hatch in the partition and the base of the side seat that folds up.  

The versions (Compact, Standard and Long) available with the 50 kWh capacity battery can reach a range of up to 148 miles according to the WLTP approval protocol. In comparison, the Standard and Long versions can also be equipped with a 75 kWh capacity battery with a range of up to 205 miles.

Two types of onboard chargers are available to meet all customer needs and charging solutions, with a 7.4 kW single-phase charger as standard and an 11 kW three-phase charger as an option.

  Daimler Trucks is focusing on hydrogen-powered fuel-cells for the electrification of its vehicles for flexible and demanding long-haul transport. It aims to achieve ranges of up to 1,000 kilometres and more without any stops for refuelling.

Humble One is the world's first solar SUV

Image
 The Humble Motors project has just revealed the first images and data of what will be its first model, the Humble One, a 100% electric SUV that will have a roof covered with solar panels. Obviously, with current technology it is impossible for a vehicle to be powered exclusively by solar energy generated by its own panels, so we are talking about a conventional electric vehicle that has photovoltaic cells. A proposal similar to what we have already seen in projects such as Aptera or Sono Motors. Pure electric models that move are driven mainly by the energy stored in their batteries, although these are partly recharged by the vehicle's energy recovery system and in a small percentage by the solar panels. The first model presented by this new American company receives the name Humble One and is a crossover with a sporty appearance and compact size. The Humble One is going to have a very powerful engine, as the company advertises no less than a combined total power of 1,034 hp (1...
