Citroen has confirmed it will launch a zero-emissions, fully electric version of its large Relay delivery van, and it's expected to go on sale at some point in the second half of 2020. Citroen's sister brand Peugeot will also debut an electric version of its equivalent of the Relay, the Peugeot Boxer.

While details for the wider European market have been announced, it is not yet clear exactly which versions of the new van will make it to the UK. The Citroen e-Relay (called the e-Jumper in other markets) will be offered with two battery sizes: 37kWh or 70kWh. The former has a claimed 124-mile range, while the latter boasts 211 miles.

The shorter-range model will be offered in 'L1' and 'L2' bodystyles, while the latter will come in 'L2S', 'L3' and 'L4' chassis-cab bodystyles. A total of four chassis lengths and three roof heights is offered, with the chassis cab version boasting the highest payload of up to 1,890kg.

A Type 3 charge cable will be supplied as standard for use with wallboxes with outputs of 3.7 to 22kW, while there's also support for fast charging up to 50kW. Citroen claims that the latter allows for an 80% charge in an hour. Regenerative braking also features.
