2012 Euro 5 Citroen Relay
All three of the new models use Citroën’s new Euro 5 HDi 150 diesel engine, supplementing the existing choice of HDi 110 and HDi 130 engines:
- Relay 35 Heavy L3 HDi 150 6-speed manual Chassis Cab
- Relay 35 Heavy L4 HDi 150 6-speed manual Chassis Cab
- Relay 35 Heavy L4 HDi 150 6-speed manual Luton van
These latest additions mean that the Citroën Relay range now includes the following models, which are available with a choice of up to four Euro 5 engines: HDi 110, HDi 130, HDi 150 and the HDi 180:
- Panel vans (8.0 – 17.0cu.m load volume & 3.0 – 4.05 tonne gvw)
- 3.5 tonne gvw chassis cabs, with a choice of in three wheelbase lengths
- 3.5 tonne gvw chassis crew cabs
- 3.5 tonne gvw back to back cabs
- 3.5 tonne gvw Relay Specialist Luton vans
- 3.5 tonne gvw Relay Specialist dropsides
- 3.5 tonne gvw Relay Specialist tippers
- Ready to Run minibuses, glass carriers, temperature controlled vans, tippers, dropsides and lutons
Scott Michael, Citroën’s Commercial Vehicle Operations Manager comments:
“The recently introduced Euro 5 150 engine provides a useful power and torque boost over the already impressive HDi 130 engine for those operators requiring additional performance. By now having Relay chassis cabs powered by the HDi 150 engine, we can offer an optimum combination of performance and economy for those customers wanting vehicles fitted with special bodywork.”
The Relay model range certainly seems to cover all the bases and should provide a suitable option for most operators’ requirements.
