The Peugeot E-Traveller is a fully electric van that combines practicality, comfort, and performance. It is designed to meet the needs of transport professionals, such as taxi drivers, shuttle operators, and hoteliers, who want to offer their customers a premium and eco-friendly service. The E-Traveller is based on the Peugeot Traveller, a successful diesel-powered van that has sold over 50,000 units since its launch in 2016. The E-Traveller offers the same spacious and modular interior, with up to eight seats and a large boot, but with a zero-emission powertrain that can travel up to 211 miles on a single charge.
The Benefits of Going Electric
The E-Traveller is powered by a 100 kW (136 hp) electric motor and a choice of two battery capacities: 50 kWh or 75 kWh. The 50 kWh battery offers a range of up to 143 miles, while the 75 kWh battery extends the range to up to 211 miles, according to the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) protocol. The E-Traveller can be charged using different methods, depending on the availability and the urgency. It can be plugged into a standard domestic socket, a wallbox, or a public charging station. It supports fast charging up to 100 kW, which can replenish 80% of the battery in 30 minutes for the 50 kWh version or 45 minutes for the 75 kWh version.
The Peugeot e-Traveller has several advantages over conventional diesel vans, especially for urban and suburban use. It is exempt from congestion and low-emission zone charges, which can save money and time for transport professionals. It also has lower maintenance and running costs, as electric vehicles have fewer moving parts and consume less energy than diesel vehicles. Moreover, the E-Traveller offers a smooth and silent driving experience, which enhances the comfort and well-being of both the driver and the passengers. The E-Traveller also has a positive impact on the environment, as it does not emit any CO2 or other pollutants, contributing to cleaner air and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
