Citroen hopes to deliver with its mini Ami Cargo
Deliveries took on greater importance during lockdown and, looking ahead, Citroen has given a glimpse of its future plans with a business-focused version of its tiny city vehicle, called Ami Cargo.
Although not yet confirmed for the UK, the little cargo van is designed for urban motoring.
The “light commercial vehicle” version is aimed at businesses that regularly deliver items over short distances.
Its electric powertrain can only propel it to about 28mph with a range of just 47 miles.
The compact Ami Cargo is just 2.41 metres long, 1.39m wide and 1.52m tall, and has been given a redesigned cabin to maximise load space.
The passenger seat is removed and replaced by a load module with a capacity of 260 litres or 140kg.
Couple this with the vehicle’s built-in storage, and total load capacity is around 400 litres.
It goes on sale in France in June from 6,490 euros (£5,600) or 24.18 euros (£20.86) per month on a long-term lease with a 2,508.43 euros deposit (£2,164.98).
