FRANCE: PSA JV for electric post van bid

Venturi Automobiles and PSA Peugeot Citroën will jointly bid to supply Citroën Berlingo First or Peugeot Partner Origin-type electric vans to the French Post Office, La Poste.
 
Issued in April 2007, the international tender initially involves the supply of a small number of test vehicles. Following a six-month trial period, La Poste will select the supplier of 500 mail delivery vans.
 
The Berlingo Citroen / Peugeot Partner will be tested with a new power train proposed by Venturi. Compact technology makes it possible to fit the electric motor, battery and other EV components inside the van's engine compartment, in place of the internal combustion engine. This offers the major advantage of ensuring the same load volume and payload as in a conventional version.
 
The electric Berlingo/Partners will have a range of up to 100 kilometres (about 60 miles), sufficient to cover French mail delivery routes.
