This competitively priced and exceptionally well-equipped range delivers the highest payloads in its sector, along with class-leading load carrying practicality and low cost of operation.<\/p>\n<p>With its wide choice of factory-built variants and Citro\u00ebn\u2019s unique range of <em>Ready to Run<\/em> specialist bodied models, there is a New Relay to economically and efficiently suit virtually any business transport requirement.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The new Relay panel vans offer a choice of payloads from 1140 \u2013 1995kg. The two versions forecast to be the best-sellers are the New Relay 30 L1H1 HDi 110 6-speed manual and the New Relay 35 L3H2 HDi 130 6-speed manual.<\/p>\n<p>The durability of the Relay should be improved, thanks to a series of updates to the van&#8217;s body. High use, high stress items such as the rear doors have been reinforced, and higher strength door hinges are now used. Similarly, the sliding side load doors have benefited from reinforced rails, re-designed runners and improved door locks, in order to raise durability and security standards.<\/p>\n<p>Underneath the body, the Relay&#8217;s shock absorber mountings have been re-designed, and braking performance has been improved, while the new\u00a0HDi diesel engines all have significantly improved efficiency, with up to 15% better fuel economy and lower CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions figures. According to Citro\u00ebn, the new Relay panel vans in the 3.0 \u2013 3.5 tonne GVW sector have combined cycle fuel economy of up to 42.8mpg, and sub-200g\/km CO<sub>2<\/sub> emission figures.<\/p>\n<p>Four fuel-efficient, low CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions HDi 110, HDi 130, e-HDi 130 Airdream and HDi 150 engines can be specified in the New Relay \u2013 all with six-speed, all-synchromesh manual gearboxes. These 2.2 litre turbocharged Euro 5 engines offer exceptional performance, alongside impressive fuel economy figures and low CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions:<\/p>\n<table class=\"noborder\" border=\"0\" width=\"590\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\"><strong>HDi 110<\/strong><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\"><strong>HDi 130<\/strong><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\"><strong>e-HDi130 Airdream<\/strong><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\"><strong>HDi 150<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\">Max power Kw(hp) @ rpm<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\">81(110)@ 3500<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\">96(130)@3500<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\">96(130) @ 3500<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\">110(150)@ 3500<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\">Max torque Nm(lb.ft) @ rpm<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\">250(184) @1750<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\">320(236)@2000<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\">320(236) @2000<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\">350(258)@ 2000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Service intervals for the new vans have been extended to two years\/30,000 miles, and in a decisive move,\u00a0Citro\u00ebn has decided to fit its Teletrac telematics system, which includes satellite navigation, as standard to all new Relay panel vans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Citro\u00ebn has announced pricing for the new Relay van range.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[8],"tags":[120,1335],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6271"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6271"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6271\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6281,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6271\/revisions\/6281"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6271"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6271"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6271"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
