The new Citroen Relay Stop & Start

The new Citroën Relay  Stop & Start vans are now on sale after their CV Show debut last month.

With this launch, Citroën – one of Europe’s pioneers of this fuel-saving and CO₂ reducing technology – now has three Stop & Start equipped LCV models on sale in the UK (Nemo, Berlingo and Relay).

The Relay models available with Stop & Start are the Relay 30 L1H1e-HDi 130 Stop & Start 6-speed manual and the Relay 35 L3H2 e-HDi 130 Stop & Start 6-speed manual van.

Thanks to its lighter weight, the Relay 30 model is the more fuel efficient of the two, and offers urban cycle fuel economy of 32.5mpg, according to official figures — a 9.2% improvement on the standard Relay 30 L1H1 HDi 110 6 speed manual van. Combined cycle fuel economy for the Relay 30 Stop & Start is a healthy 39.2mpg.

Scott Michael, Citroën’s Head of Commercial Vehicles & Business Centre Programme, commented:

“With the new Relay Stop & Start equipped vans, Citroën has further improved the fuel economy and reduced the CO₂ emissions of one of the sector’s most fuel-efficient and cleanest LCV ranges. The new Relay Stop & Start equipped vans will appeal to all operators, but particularly those working in urban environments, where they will deliver worthwhile financial, operational and environmental benefits.”
