Citroen Berlingo
Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) and PSA Peugeot Citroen have reached an agreement to extend their collaborative electric vehicle (EV) efforts beyond the initial arrangement that brought the i-MiEV (and its European relatives, the Peugeot iON and Citroen C-Zero) to life. MMC and PSA have now announced plans to jointly develop a pair of electric vans that will move the company past the egg-shaped EV trio.
The Peugeot Partner and Citroen Berlingo, two vans that are currently available either as people movers or in slab-sided light-duty commercial attire, will undergo the electrification process. Both MMC and PSA will work together to hatch out the technical details and the electrified models will be built at PSA's Vigo plant in Spain by the end of 2012. Hat tip to David!
