Inovev predicts production of 350,000 units per year of new Citroen Berlingo, Peugeot Partner, Opel Combo
- The PSA group will unveil the new generation of Citroën Berlingo and Peugeot Partner vans at the Geneva Motor Show, as well as that of the Opel Combo, which abandons the Fiat Doblo platform to use that of those PSA models.
- For Citroën and Peugeot, it is the third generation that succeeds those of 1996 and 2008. For Opel, it is the fifth generation that succeeds those of 1986, 1994, 2002 and 2011.
- The three new models are built on the same PSA EMP2 platform and share many body parts, but their front end is specific. They are equipped with the same engines (1200 gasoline of 110hp and 130hp, 1500 diesel of 75hp, 100hp and 130hp) and will be produced in the same European factories (that of Vigo in Spain and that of Mangualde in Portugal) at the rate of 350 000 units annually, with 250,000 in Vigo and 100,000 in Mangualde.
- The new models measure 4.40m and will be available in a new extended version of plus 35cm (or 4.75m) that did not exist on the current Citroën and Peugeot models but existed on the former Opel Combo and Fiat Doblo. On the "passenger transport" version, the Citroen Berlingo, Peugeot Partner and Opel Combo will therefore be available in 5 or 7 seats, depending on the length of their wheelbase. The three new models will be available from September 2018 and an electric powered version will be added in 2019.
