Electric version of Berlingo Multispace

Citroen has produced an electric version of its Berlingo Multispace van-derived car, writes Brian Byrne.

Dubbed the E-Berlingo Multispace, the vehicle has a range of 170km and is designated by the company as a 'volume' car, alongside its variants powered by petrol and diesel engines.

The batteries are housed in a sub-frame on either side of the rear axle, so the passenger and cargo capacity hasn't been compromised.

There are normal and rapid charging modes, the latter allowing a 50pc recharge in 15 minutes, or 80pc in half an hour.

The E-Berlingo Multispace will launch in its first European markets in May.
