New 2015 Citroen Berlingo will make UK debut at CV Show 2015<\/p><\/div>\n

The new\u00a0Citro\u00ebn Berlingo and Peugeot Partner\u00a0small vans will make their UK debuts at the CV Show 2015, which takes place at the Birmingham NEC from 14-16 April.<\/p>\n

While the styling and specification of both vans have been tweaked, the big\u00a0change is that both models will now be available with Euro 6 engines.<\/p>\n

Euro 6 is the latest European standard for emissions\u00a0control and is particularly relevant for diesel engines at\u00a0it\u00a0includes much tougher legislation on\u00a0nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions.<\/p>\n

These are\u00a0responsible for respiratory and other health problems in urban areas, and while NOx levels should have fallen under Euro 5, it was found that the technology used for Euro 5 didn’t work very effectively in urban environments<\/a>*. As a result, NOx levels didn’t fall by as much as expected following the\u00a0widespread adoption of Euro 5.<\/p>\n

Naturally, emissions control technology is getting more complex, as\u00a0Citro\u00ebn explains:<\/p>\n

BlueHDi (Euro 6) powered New Berlingo models have an efficient, three-stage SCR process to treat emissions caused by combustion:<\/p>\n

– Stage 1: an oxidisation catalyst converts the unburned hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) in the exhaust into water and carbon dioxide (CO2<\/sub>)<\/p>\n

– Stage 2: the SCR module then adds AdBlue to convert nitrogen oxide (NOx)<\/sub> into nitrogen (N) and water<\/p>\n

– Stage 3: a particulate filter then eliminates 99.9% of particles in the vehicle\u2019s exhaust emissions<\/p>\n

BlueHDi powered New Berlingo vans have a 17-litre AdBlue tank, which will last for up to 14,000 miles, depending on the type of vehicle operation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Peugeot Partner is of course essentially the same van, and will have a near-identical range of engines. Both firms will wisely also offer\u00a0a\u00a01.6-litre petrol engine, which\u00a0should win favour with low mileage urban operators and perhaps off-road users, such as airports, where speeds and distances are very low and do not allow a modern diesel to\u00a0warm up and operate efficiently.<\/p>\n

Peugeot will also continue to offer the Partner\u00a0Van Electric, an all-electric model, while there will be a new Berlingo Electric Van (presumably\u00a0using the same\u00a0electric drivetrain).<\/p>\n

What else is new?<\/h3>\n

I’ve written about both new vans previously (Berlingo<\/a> & Partner<\/a>), so I won’t repeat everything here, but to summarise, the main\u00a0enhancements to each model are\u00a0technological and safety related: Active City Brake, Hill Start Assist, tyre pressure sensors, cruise control and front and rear parking sensors and camera are all\u00a0available as options, while the\u00a02\/3-seat\u00a0cab seating format will continue to be available.<\/p>\n

Payloads for the updated vans range from 625kg to 850kg, while inside a 7-inch touchscreen\u00a0media system will also be available for the first time.<\/p>\n
