01 – 100% ELECTRIC ADVANTAGES FOR PROFESSIONALS
New ë-Jumper offers all the qualities of the internal combustion version with the advantages of the electric engine, a range of up to 340 km and the possibility of charging the battery to 80% in 45 minutes.
Since 2019, all new models launched by Citroën have been available in a 100% electric or a plug-in hybrid version – the aim is to electrify the whole range by 2025. Starting in 2021, 100% of the LCV range and its passenger car variants will be proposed in a 100% electric version. In a context of growing urbanization, access to city centers and their zero emission zones is a major challenge for business users.
CITROËN Ë-JUMPER: A 100% ËLECTRIC VAN
- 2 driving ranges to choose from, making ë-Jumper the best in its category with the most powerful battery
– 200 km* (WLTP cycle) – available on L1, L2 body shapes – 37 kWh lithium-ion battery.
– 340 km* (WLTP cycle) – available on L2S, L3 and L4 chassis-cab body shapes – 70 kWh battery.
*provisional data under reserve of certification
The traction battery, assembled by our partner BEDEO, is guaranteed for 8 years or 160,000 km for 70% of the charging capacity.
- Charging solutions
– Private or public fast charge with a Wallbox fast-charging unit (3.7 to 22 kW) requiring a type 3 cable (supplied with the vehicle),
– Super-fast charge at public charging stations up to 50 kW with a type 4 cable already built into the station, Allows the 2 batteries to be charged to 80% in 1 hour.
Citroën ë-Jumper comes with an 8 m type 3 on-board cable that can go up to 22 kW.
Deferred charging is possible at certain stations.
- Work in ë-comfort mode:
– No vibration, no noise,
– Driving pleasure, smooth driving in electric mode, with torque available at start-up,
New ë-Jumper is equipped with a single variable speed that not only facilitates driving but also optimises the efficiency of the electric motor and thus increases the driving range.
In addition, ë-Jumper is equipped with an energy recovery system to control front and rear operation and the regenerative braking energy-recovery functions in certain phases. The energy is therefore recovered both when the accelerator is released and when the brake pedal is depressed.
– Engine power of 96 kW (120 hp) / 260 Nm,
– Regulatory maximum speed of 110 km/h (for a 3.5-tonne load) and 90 km/h (for 4 tonnes),
