Citroën has unveiled a two-seat cargo version of the e-C3 compact electric car with the additional VAN index.

The van retained the dimensions of the "civil" e-C3: 4015 mm in length, 1813 mm in width (with mirrors), 1577 mm in height. But the rear sofa was removed, and instead of it was installed a cargo platform with a partition and a grille. Its dimensions: 1130 x 1006 x 935 mm, which gives 730 litres under the shelf and up to 1220 litres if loaded "under the roof". The maximum load is up to 302kg and the GVW is 1,745kg.

The e-C3 VAN is powered by an 83 kW (113 hp) electric motor. Electricity is stored in a 44 kWh battery, providing a range of up to 323 kilometres on the WLTP cycle. The 100 kW fast charging allows the battery to be charged from 20 to 80 per cent in 26 minutes. If charging with alternating current, it takes 4 hours with the 7 kW unit or 2 hours 50 minutes with the 11 kW charger (optional).

It takes about 11 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h, with a top speed of 132 km/h. Declared energy consumption is 17.3 kWh per 100 kilometres.

The list of safety systems includes auto braking, lane keeping, sign recognition and driver fatigue monitoring.

The e-C3 VAN is available in a special Montecarlo Blue colour scheme. The colours Perla Nera Black, Polar White, Mercure Grey, Elixir Red and Bright Blue are also available. The roof is painted in body colour as standard, but Opal White or Perla Nera Black is available as an option.
