Peugeot Launches Electric Van and SUV in Australia, Taking Orders Now

The electrification of vehicles is an important step in transitioning towards EVs, and delivery vans make up a large number of daily trips across the country. Peugeot is set to make this transition easier with the introduction of the e-Partner Van, which is set to arrive in Australia in the first half of this year.

The e-Partner is based on the EMP2 (Efficient Modular Platform) and will deliver 100 kW of power and 260 Nm of torque. It will be powered by a 50 kWh battery pack, making it a reliable and efficient option for delivery businesses. Peugeot Australia’s managing director, Kate Gillis, said that the e-Partner 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.”

The e-Partner will be quieter and more comfortable than ICE options, making it an ideal choice for delivery staff who drive for hours every day. Peugeot also plans to offer more electrified variants across LCV, passenger and SUV models in the coming years, including the e-2008 small SUV. Pricing and full specifications of the e-Partner will be announced closer to when it goes on sale.

The introduction of the e-Partner is a positive step for the delivery industry in Australia, and we look forward to test-driving it when it reaches our shores later in the year. Riz, founder of carloop based in Melbourne, specialises in Australian EV data, insight reports and trends and has a passion for cars, particularly EVs. He believes that the e-Partner will help reduce transport emissions in Australia.
