The new all-ëlectric Citroën ë-Dispatch offers all the advantages of the combustion-engine versions of Dispatch van in terms of character, dimensions, load volume and payload. This compact van’s move to electric means users have the freedom to access urban centres, while allowing longer periods between charges. It increases driver and passenger comfort, thanks to its driveability and acoustics, while helping to reduce CO² emissions. It also offers a plethora of practical equipment for professional users, to improve ease of use in daily life.

Three trim levels available

The all-ëlectric Citroën ë-Dispatch comes in three well-specified trim levels to meet the needs of fleet and business users:

The ‘X’ version offers all the essential features you expect in a Citroën LCV. Standard specification includes electric and heated door mirrors, electric parking brake and twin unglazed rear doors opening 180°. Inside, there is air-conditioning, DAB radio with Bluetooth®, Citroen Connect Box with Emergency & Assistance function, and cruise control with a programmable speed-limiter.

‘Enterprise’ is arguably the most the most versatile version, adding rear parking sensors, a Thatcham category one alarm, automatic headlights and windscreen wipers, 7-inch colour touchscreen with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto, and the Moduwork® dual passenger bench, with fold-up outer seat, a fold-down writing table in the central seat back and storage under the central seat.

‘Driver’ is made to be a mile-eater, with the addition of Active Safety Brake, driver attention alert, front parking sensors, smart beam headlights, lane departure warning system, blind-spot monitoring, Visio Park 180° rear parking camera and Citroën Connect Nav with voice recognition.
Compact dimensions and three lengths to choose from

XS (4.60 m long – 50 kWh), which is unique in this segment and hugely practical for use in the city.
M (4.95 m long – 50 kWh or 75 kWh).
XL (5.30 m long – 75 kWh).
Height at 90 m is standard specification, ensuring access to the majority of multi-storey car parks.
The same market-leading features as the rest of the Dispatch van range

Payloads up to 1,262 kg* – a key requirements in this segment.* With cost option payload upgrade. Without driver, value varies according to vehicle options and equipment.
Towing capability up to 1 tonne, making ë-Dispatch the leader in its segment.
Load volumes are identical to those of the combustion-engine versions – ranging from the most compact at 4.6 m3 (XS without Moduwork®) to a cavernous 6 m3 (XL with Moduwork®) – at market-leading levels.
Width between wheel-arches of 25 m is sufficient for European pallets.
Functional equipment that makes all the difference to commercial vehicle users, including features like Moduwork® that transforms the passenger compartment into a mobile office.
Almost 100-litres of storage space is available in the passenger compartment.
Driving comfort is ensured by the variable-stiffness springs, the AMVAC shock absorbers and the suspension setup (Pseudo McPherson struts on the front axle) ensuring precise steering.

Choice of two operating ranges
Up to 148 miles on the WLTP cycle (available in XS and M body styles) fitted with a 50 kWh battery.

Private or public accelerated charging, needing a ‘Wallbox’ at home and a mode 3 cable. 32A cable (supplied as standard with the vehicle). Charges from zero to 100% in less than 8hours (7.4 kW Wallbox).
Super-fast charging at a mode 4 public charging point (cable incorporated into charger).
